ASP Trooper takes over high speed pursuit & quickly brings it to an end - Driver feared PIT Maneuver 

Note: There has been a lot of discussion lately regarding ASP's use of the PIT / TVI Maneuver. Col. Mike Hager, Director of ASP and Secretary of the Department of Public Safety, said recently about these pursuit videos: "The only good thing I hope that comes from that is people know to not run from the state police." Full story here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eozF4PpIRZE.html Perhaps the message is getting out. This driver fled from Sherwood and North Little Rock for several miles before stopping when ASP got involved. Trooper's Report: On 8/6/2023, I, Trooper Permenter, was actively patrolling in North Little Rock. The Troop A Dispatch advised that Sherwood Police and North Little Rock Police were in pursuit of a Ford Transit van, AR LPN: 449WZY, and were asking for assistance from the Arkansas State Police. The pursuit entered Interstate 40 West at North Hills. I activated my emergency lights and siren and was able to become the primary unit of the pursuit at Interstate 40 West at Crystal Hill. The vehicle was in the middle lane as I approached to conduct a tactical vehicle intervention. The driver immediately applied the brakes and swerved to the number three lane. The driver slowed and drove onto the inside shoulder before accelerating and violently swerving between all three lanes to prevent my unit from attempting a tactical vehicle intervention. Near the exit to Interstate 430, the driver again abruptly applied the brakes and swerved onto the inside shoulder. I angled my unit in front of the Transit Van and the driver stopped and exited with his hands raised. The Transit Van was not placed in park and rolled down the grassy median, coming to rest on the inside shoulder of the eastbound lanes of Interstate 40. I gave commands for the driver to get on the ground and placed him into handcuffs without incident. The vehicle was cleared by North Little Rock Police. The driver was identified as, Christopher Gilliam and taken into custody by Sherwood Police. There were no injuries and no damage to any vehicles from the pursuit.

Poor K9 didn't get the chance to go Nom Nom 😅

God do I love those ASP cruisers.... Smooth, that was smooth as silk!!!!

So let's get away in a bright red van that looks like a toaster by turning off our lights! Ingenious!

And just like that , ASP swoops in and takes care of the bad guy !!! Great job Trooper Keri 💪🇺🇸💪😎

I feel sorry for the dog. All ready to play chase and no one cooperates.

12:12 "He did not want State to PIT him out" Judging by the conversation at the end, dude in the Transit knew exactly what was coming lol

There's no real incentive from criminal scum to stop when there' no worry about taking a PIT. I hope the ASP NEVER stops and that more LEA's across the country stat using it.

Clearly, the pit maneuver is a DETERRENT. THERE YA GO!!! GREAT JOB!❤

The local police are like Wyatt Earp and his brothers. Feared, but the driver keeps going. Then the state Charger comes in like Doc Holliday joining the fight. The driver thinks he hears a faint "I'm your huckleberry" and immediately pulls over and gives up.

Now if other states will learn from Arkansas maybe, just maybe, criminals will learn that they don’t stand a chance. Good job officers!

I live in OH and I wish our Troopers acted as Quick and Aggressive!!!! Great work and keep saving lives of the innocent drivers!❤❤❤

Imagine being NLR Police and not being able to do anything about a slow moving transit van other than stay behind it. Glad the Director of ASP doesn't back down, or squirm from what others see as unpleasant questions about police interventions.

When an ASP Charger comes up from behind, passing all the other police cars, the only thing missing is flames from the rear of the Charger.

Absolutely excellent police work by all of these Officer's!!!!. I've seen Officer Permenter several times and she does not play!!! Excellent work by all of these Officer's!!! They really should let the puppy go and play!!! Poor little puppy just wants to make his handler proud!!!

Like an avenging angel, Trooper Permenter arrived and quickly showed the bad guy that running was a bad idea. 😆

Keep up the good work officers. That includes those effective pit maneuvers. Respect! 💙

When 1 cruiser passes all the others, it's time 2 give up.

The subjects first mistake was breaking the law. The second mistake was taking it onto the ASP highway! That HAD TO be a suspect that KNEW what that insanely fast car with the blue lights meant 😆

I can only imagine how much the local wrecker companies love the ASP and their phenomenal PIT-ing skills! 💸💸💸

Criminals are afraid of the consequences of their actions? Where do these crazy new ideas come from?

Dude KNEW what coming and by whom...lol. I LOVE it!!!

Well at least one driver had the good sense to recognize that they ether stop on their own,or get pitted. They were fine with the city, and county police, but the site of that Trooper was apparently more than they were willing to resist.👍 Now That’s What I Call Intimidation Factor! Drop the bravado and face the reality or risk potentially assuming room temperature! In this case the better option was accepted.

Obviously a case of "Oh crap it's ASP and it's gonna hurt!" Smarter than the average felon this one. 😜

HA! That buckle up, drive safely sign on the right!

Excellent work by all, especially Trooper Permenter. It's just too bad that the puppy didn't get to play tag with the miscreant. I would have liked to see a taser dance lesson too. Nothing makes me smile like a perp in the dirt floppin' and twitchin'!

The Drive safely, buckle up sign was like icing on the cake

That driver knew what was coming next.😂

Why isn't the law changed so that these idiots who run from the police, have them sent to prison for 3 years with no possible parole. Since they have proven that they don't care about innocent people.

God bless our deputies everywhere blue and brown 🟤🔵 forever ♾️ thank you for your service and dedication

In the next couple of months I'll probably be driving through Arkansas to see my grandson graduate from Army basic at Fort Leonard Wood. You can bet I'll be driving very careful through Arkansas and sure as hell pull over if I do something stupid to get stopped. 😁😁😗

tout c'est bien passé Bravo !

LOLOL!! The "Buckle up, Drive Safely" sign

As usual ASP does not disappoint. Nice to see law enforcement take the gloves off, and apply the FAFO rule.

he knew "pit into bridge abutment" was authorized once he seen ASP

ASP reputation is starting to reach these perps. When ASP shows up time to give up and save yourself from a PIT!

That was honestly so fkn impressive. From the dispatcher all the way down to the K9, very well executed.

Trooper was like Relax fellas, I got this!😂

When he saw her fly up on the left and take over primary, he knew exactly what time it was.

“Oh man. Here comes ASP. I’m just gonna pull over.” Yup. Word is getting out.

In Melbourne Australia a pit manoeuvre would have saved ten lives in Bourke Street Melbourne

Looked like the Sherwood and Little Rock Police were afraid to get near the van. ASP to the rescue.

I'm proud of our State Troopers. When I saw that Trooper take the lead, I knew it wouldn't last long. 😃

Way to go Officers 🇺🇸🙏🏻

Good job as always Arkansas. 💪

Why block the guilty from being seen

Well done Was looking forward to some Puppy Num Num time

Excellent job

You go Kari! Good job!

I can't believe that it took this long to figure out that ASP doesn't play...

Damn, 'ol Keri was bookin'.

❤WOW, none of those residents are yielding to the city officers, like they just know where the suspect is going, the cities aren't run like the state, fortunately. Governor Huckabee is tight with ASP ❤

Love the teamwork!! 😎👍

I do believe this driver watches RU-vid didn't even bother to put the vehicle in park

When you have a couple cop cars right behind you with the party lights on, you can assume that your blackout move isn’t working.

Nothing like trying to run from police in a toaster van.

The van's like "no I don't want to press charges, I'll just be on my way, thanks".

That guy said uhoh Keri is her and will pit my ass out I better just stop.

Cops LOVE, LOVE, LOVE those pursuits!

I've only passed through Arkansas once and that was along I-40 but one place stood out and that was the First Pentecostal Church Of North Little Rock as seen in this video as with so many others.

That looks like a training session, no contact with AST and the driver anticipated Keri, then just gets out while the SUV rolls into the median? Good job anyway, Trooper Permenter!

More departments needs to do PIT maneuvers. Of course, they need proper training. Send them to Arkansas

I am always amazed when I watch ASP videos. People in Arkansas don't, as a rule, yield to emergency vehicles. I find that astonishing.

I'm not blaming the local rank and file bot those so called chases are akin to a parade with a perp as grand marshal until ASP shows up!!

When city is on the radio giving speed, location and traffic and here comes the trooper with Avenged Sevenfold maxed out on his AirPods.

🐓 and with good reason! Maybe the message is getting through 🤔 Good job Officers 👍🏻

This guy was like Inspector Clouseau in "The Return of the Pink Panther" movie when he ran that little red van into someone's swimming pool. 😄

It amazes me that people with slow cars think that they can escape the Law !?!!😢😢😅😂🎉

Did he really think he was gonna out run the police in an Astro 'Shaggin Wagon" Van?

Lol he's def watched youtube 😂😂 As soon at that ASP trooper took over he saw the pit coming and said f that lol

Great job ASP AS ALWAYS

that perp must have seen what happens when ASP joins a pursuit. he changed his tune real fast 😂

Puppies should get a free bite every time somebody runs

It ends right next to the Drive Safely sign. LOL

Well done as usual but why pixelate the driver?

why didn't they switch the camera views to the first car in the chase during the first part of the video so we don't get blinded by the flashing lights from the other police car.

As an Arkansas resident, taxpayer, and law abiding citizen, I want a string, effective and honest police force. If that means deadly force is employed with predudice, from physical hands on, firearm, or vehicle (PIT/TVI), or Less Than Lethal, hands on, projectile, "Taser", K-9, etc. I have voted "Aye". Carry on. Thank you, and be safe out there...

Love how they are learning that when ASP shows up it's better to just pull over and get the cuffs on.

"Pull over for you city cops? Nah." "Oh sh!t, it's the ASP!!" Stops and jumps out with his hands up so quickly that he forgets to put it in park. LOL Some people are getting the message.

Ya don't never wanna mess with them Arkie Troopers! Ya ain't never gonna win!

Good video!

7:50 Fear the ASP! 👮🚓👍

If only the prosecutors were as aggressive as the police so the police don't have to arrest the same people time after time after time. Running from police should bring at least a 10 year sentence and since they ran, they shouldn't be able to bail out before trial.

Maybe this guy was a physics major (ha ha) and realized the jig was up when he saw the trooper preparing for a PIT, knowing full well that a spin-out in a top heavy vehicle would not be a good outcome for him.

Love it! Loved the recent k8 news segment too. It’s a John Wayne kina message, don’t “F” with the ASP. Obey the law or meet accountability, plain and simple.

Now that is OUTSTANDING TEAM WORK , ASP troopers don't play

Why was the suspect blurred out?

Sounds like that Tahoe is only hitting on 7.

14:58 Pats her on the side of the arm and almost knocks her over. Hilarious. Good thing she has the dog to protect her.

Well done.

Always remember that the perp always has the option to do what the rest of us does; slow down, pull over, stop and put your hands on the wheel at 10 to 2. You don't want to comply? OK, that'll be Option B and ASP Troopers.

Give em 👏👏👏👍👍👍 everytime.

I sure do wish the gps date time location speed and Officer's info was on rhe windshield!!!

Word’s getting out about the ASP! As soon as this a55hole saw the ASP cruiser next to him he was out. Didn’t even wait to put the vehicle in park!

I wanted the pit😭😭😭

Tiny young woman with MAAD driving skills--YOU GO, GIRL!!!

Wow. He was so scared, he pixelated. 😂

Is the driver nekkid? Why the pixels? Yes, I su'pose the agency did it. Driver is Christopher Gilliam, I had a friend Chris Gilliam in grade school decades back

Didn’t want his ride destroyed 😂

Driver gave up but the van didn’t
