Cadillac driver flees from traffic stop - Arkansas State Police end pursuit with PIT Maneuver #chase

Trooper's Report: On June 6, 2024, around 11:29 P.M. I was stationary on Interstate 40 westbound near the 282-mile marker, I could see a vehicle through my rearview mirror traveling at a high rate of speed. I activated my rear radar and clocked the SUV. I received a positive reading on the digital display of 86 mph in a posted 65 mph zone. As the vehicle passed by me, I activated my front radar, and the reading was consistent with the one from the rear radar. I drove from the shoulder to catch up to the beige Cadillac SUV. After exiting at Mound City, I activated my blue lights and the SUV stopped. I approached the passenger side and noticed one occupant in the vehicle. I explained the reason for the stop and asked the driver for his driver’s license, he stated he didn’t have it on him, but his name was Alex Wilson. The driver mentioned being in a hurry because his mom was watching his son, I advised him to step out of the vehicle and talk to me. He said oh yeah come and talk to me and put the SUV in gear and drove off. I advised dispatch I was in pursuit. While north on Mound City Road the suspect turned his lights off and began to drive recklessly, weaving across the road. As I positioned my car for Tactical Vehicle Intervention, a black bag came out of the passenger window. I attempted a TVI on the right side of the SUV, which caused the driver to lose control momentarily. Shortly afterwards the driver regained control continuing north on Mound City Road. I made contact with the vehicle a second time but was not successful in immobilizing the vehicle. However, the third time the SUV begins to spin clockwise until making contact with a ditch on the west side of the road. After the vehicle was settled, a felony takedown was performed. The driver was placed in handcuffs and advised of his rights. I removed a total of 609 dollars from Nicholas and the vehicle. During the search of the vehicle an orange pill bottle containing 2 Oxycodone pills and 1 Xanax pill, 2 Promethazine bottles (79 ml), 4 packs of Night-Night Marijuana (42.4 grams), 1 clear container of marijuana (38 grams), 1 scale and 1 cigar roller were found. The money was turned over to his mother Kim Crockett. The suspect was transported to the Crittenden County Jail by Deputy Hulsey with the Crittenden County Sheriff's Department due to my vehicle needing vehicle maintenance. After I changed the tire, I returned to the location where the bag was thrown out the window and discovered 100 (1mg) and 47 (2mg) Xanax tablets inside 2 small clear containers inside the bag. Finally, the driver was identified as Nicholas Papachristou from Jonesboro, Arkansas. He was charged with the following: Speeding, Obstructing Governmental Operations, Reckless Driving, fleeing in a vehicle, Tampering with Physical Evidence, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Possession of a Controlled Substance Schedule II 2g, Possession of a Controlled Substance Schedule IV 28g200g, Possession of a Controlled Substance Schedule VI4oz 10lbs. All drugs and evidence related to this case has been released to the 2nd Judicial Drug Task Force.

Lol.. imagine being held at gunpoint and just dicking around with your phone. Why are people so stupid these days?

If there were cell phones on the titanic, people would cling to them as water came up to their noses

And once again the most Important thing is his phone.... Its like a pacifier

Your honor in my client's defense, he dumb..

it's all this child can do to keep both his hands off his phone while he is in a ditch at gun point- unfreakinbelieveable

Im convinced if you turn peoples phone off they will just shut down and go to sleep.

Mom's going to be so mad her Caddy got destroyed.

don't fuck around with the boys in Arkansas!! Well done sir.

The death grip on the phone is crazy.

Tattoo's and cellphone. It's like he's living his life in 3rd person.

Imagine valuing your phone more than you value your life. The entitled generations are pathetic.

Alex Wilson is a horrible fake name you could tell the trooper didn’t believe it for a second

Just take the ticket and go home rather than wreck your car and catch a felony. DUH!

People are so stupid driving away from the police like that

ASP. The definition of f@#k around and find out.

Pro tip: If you're going to drive dirty, obey the speed limit.

Just one time I want the communication cop to say ...now do the hokey pokey and turn yourself around....just once ...

Full of tattoos, pants around his ankles, stupid, dealing with drugs, wrecks car, ombilical phone, now a felon….. well done maaaaa!

Trooper Cheers made short work of that pursuit!!! Well done, sir!!
