Dodge Ram (Theft Suspect) meets the Mighty Arkansas State Police Dodge Charger  

Today's video is dedicated to an Arkansas Law Enforcement LEGEND. Captain Tom Bartsch (Little Rock PD "Retired"), Rest in Peace Sir. Your Watch is over and thank you once again, for always having my 6!

If you start a chase followed by the local PD and suddenly an Arkansas State Trooper appears behind you, pull over, lay on the ground, and review your life choices…

These idiots need to be made to pay restitution to the other drivers whose cars they damage. Insurance never pays the full amount and it takes countless hours dealing with getting the paperwork done and repairs made. Those responsible for such outrageous behavior need to be made to pay.

I can’t stand a freakin thief!!🤬🤬Should have known not to run in Arkansas, they don’t play!!

Chase started at Home Depot and ended at Lowes...

Arkansas Troopers ... the best !

Haha Trooper brushing off his hands, fixing his pant legs for his cowboy boots, and getting the hand sanitizer. What a bad ass! 🤠

I am from Arkansas and I love watching 1 or 2 new chase videos everyday. But we need to stop our stupidity!

I love that you aggressively go after those creeps n that your state has the brains to back you up!🤔❤❤❤❤

I'm always amazed at these pursuit videos. Amazed at the level of stupidity that these "suspects" have attained.

Fleeing in a car in Arkansas is beyond dumb.

You have to ask yourself “ Do you feel lucky PUNK”? DO YA? 😂😂 Don’t mess with the ASP or you too will find out.

I just witnessed a pickup truck giving birth, 😂😂

I honestly think that Trooper didn't need any backup! ! ! 🤣🤣 (though I am glad he had it)

Wow that was intense!! I thought for sure that first spinner would stop him. Some people are just slow learners and get stubborn about it. THANKS LT!!

Welcome to Arkansas and glad you got to meet ASP!!

May Captain Tom Bartsch, well- respected and loved, rest in peace. 🙏🙏🙏

once the "Hunter's" show up, you're screwed

That's the way it needs to be done. Ask them to comply and if they don't the second request. You PULL THEM OUT and force them to comply. LEO's needs to STOP playing games with 'these peoples.'

Thank you LT. And best to all in their loss of the Captain. We thank him.

Imagine if all States were to follow ASP/GSP chase protocols. Give me a minute - I am in my feels here!🥰

I'm sorry.......I never laughed so hard in all my life: but when they were pulling him out of the cab of that truck, they were pulling him outta there like they were birthing a baby! Blooop: there it is! (Guess it's past memories of having 6 that does that to ya!) Lordamercy, watched it twice! Great PIT. What a silly fellow to think you could outrun Arkansas State Police! Arkansas videos are my favorite to watch: No messin' around. Get. It. Done. Thank you!

That booking photo.....don't do drugs, kids.

And when you choose to refuse Arkansas State troopers will make sure you lose

When he got to jail the cops asked him why he was 2 inches taller than the height on his license.

Speed only 28... He's using the OJ getaway tactic... Drive Kato, dive!

Another waste of oxygen behind the wheel of a vehicle.

Man, that rap sheet at the beginning is something else. Felony warrants, meth possession, no license... you know you've screwed up your life when high value theft is the least of your offenses.

I’ll bet when the suspect seen ASP in his mirror he knew it was over. I did. Lol

That cop needs to teach the LAPD how to do a pit maneuver. LAPD just bumps the vehicle. This officer caused that truck to do a hard spin out twice….and right into the concrete barrier….sweeeet….

May God bless our men and women who protect and serve us

Wow! That first TVI was a textbook PIT, the guy did a complete 360 and then drove away from it. I imagine the Trooper was a bit (ahem) "upset." I'm sure he was loaded for bear the second time.

Call for the Byrd! The Byrds the word!

I didn't know Home Depot's toggle bolts had a high enough street value to support this guy's meth habit. 😛🤣

ASP is the cat taunting the mouse

Hi, you guys are really the best of all the mighty USA,keep it up ❤. Thank you

Thanks for this video, Lt.! The highlight of this pursuit, for me, was when the "Super Trooper" (Officer Donley?) arrived and proceeded to rush right up behind the truck and stayed there; it looked like a piece of paper would not fit between the two vehicles. Everyone be safe and be well! ❤

Their TVI's are a thing of beauty. Great job

Must be nice to have auto body contract for Arky troopers

Much respect for all of the ASP officers, as well as others, for keeping themselves physically fit to the nth degree, keeping their uniforms nicely clean and fitted, and representing their great state of Arkansas with impeccable, top notch h work in the field! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Holy Moly I've been in that construction zone and it's not a wide stretch of road. No room for error, super kudos to the officers for not letting anyone get hurt. That could have turned bad in a heartbeat. 💙💙

ASP chases a lot of Dodge products lol. Love ASP.....they don't F around!

Are there that many crooks left that haven’t been stopped!

Arkansas cops don't play the radio. 9 times out of 10 they're gonna get you. Great job. 💪

Thank you for the video Lt. and again, I'm sorry for the loss Little Rock P.D. is going through.

I always see those cement things and thought they wont hold a vehicle in. Yeah they will.

10:50 At first glance, I thought that the black thing in the background moving away from the crashed truck, was a dog that may have been in the truck and was thrown out or jumped out. I was so concerned about that poor dog and rewatched it to make sure it was okay. Then I saw that it was a tire that got tossed over the barrier and was rolling up the grassy slope and then back down again. I'm still worried though. I hope that tire is okay.

Evening Lt, Its always sad to hear about another Trooper ir Officer that lost their lives. They always done a fantastic job for the force. Thank you for the police video as it was a great ine. Have a good night and a great day tomorrow. Take care of yourself and be safe

ASP is the best. God bless y'all. Stay safe. 🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤

I've said it before, you can run from local cops all day but boy when that ASP unit rolls up on your rear bumper you got 2 choices. 1, you can pull over, park and show your hands, or 2, you better cinch up your belts cause you can bet you'll soon be taking the ride of your life.

it’s nice to see a mid-week video … especially on Taco Wednesday 🌮 🌮 thank YOU, LT … perfect lunch side dish

I always tell people, "If you find yourself in Arkansas, don't engage their state police in a high speed chase. They will f*** you up."

I've driven 1-40 many times from North Carolina through Arkansas to So.Cal. I'm so glad I didn't change lanes without my blinker in Arkansas.

Super troopers! Probably saved some innocent person life.

RIP Captain. I just love LIttle Rock PD and ASP, ya'll are the best

That first PIT was pretty as a peach! Thing I always wonder is, what are these people thinking? He's got a hoopty truck, and has a snake on his tail. He canNOT get away... what exactly is the plan?

Fantastic. Thank you very very (twice on purpose) for the coverage. Remember children: Do not mess with the ASP, as you might just have to take a pee. In prison. Believe me. That is NOT a good thing and your so-called bell will be ringed many times. I recently watched a compilation of Officer Jacob Byrd. It was surreal. The calm, the presence, the focus, at 178 MPH+ (try to remain calm at that speed with traffic and other nonsense happening) was absolutely unbelievable. Some folks are born to do certain things. We think that many who serve with the ASP were literally born to do what they do. Born to eradicate the "black hats". Nothing against black hats, and I am not referring to "race" so-called. I wear a black hat everyday literally. I am talking about the line in the proverbial sand. Choose wisely. Also, be well or you might just go to hell. The line is blurred at this moment in time figuratively as well as literally. However, in AR, the line is clear and is presented in 8K for those who dare. Take care and be safe out there. BTW. The Byrd family has over 100 YEARS in LE in AR. This AR Trooper and gentleman was just fantastic.

Y’all got some real bright boys in Arkansas for sure! “The natural state” naturally stupid!? lol Im in the granola state, CA. I’m one of the nuts. 😀

As Archer would say, "Do you want the ASP? Cuz that's how you get the ASP."

Thank you for this, @arkansaspoliceactivity , and thanks also for including the written reports. They make a huge difference, and I appreciate them.

I've lived long enough to be convinced that a lot of criminals have the middle name "Wayne".

Happy Wednesday Everyone - APA, Wolf 🐺 Pack, and Viewers! Let's ride! Let's go!!!!♠️🎩🇺🇲🏹

Great police work hope gets some years in jail

Not too shabby! I’m glad they let the traffic go around.

Poor Kenny! He was just trying to make a dishonest buck! Gimmie a break!

Johnny Law - Get 'em!

Something in the water in Arkansas!

Couldn't dodge the wall, so he rammed it. 😅 Thank you I'll see myself out.

ASP does NOT phuck around. Good job to all involved 👏 👍

Keep safe guys and gals

Thank you! ASP rules!

Boa tarde a todos! É ótimo ver um país comprometido em proteger seus cidadãos.

I'd like to be the guy that sells front fenders to the ASP!

I like that the ASP do not waste time with scoff laws

These guys are so efficient. Their timing is near perfect. They make these pits look easy. Bravo ASP!

We support our men and women in blue, city and state!

I've noticed that Arkansas is very good about getting traffic moving again, unlike many other states. I've personally been stuck for over an hour because the police just refused to open a lane. There was no debris, nothing in that lane at all, just a police car. Extremely frustrating, especially on a very hot day. Then after an hour, moved his car and let traffic finally move. Suspect had been removed from the scene 30 minutes at that point. Grrrr. But Arkansas cleans debris quickly and get traffic moving in minutes. Bravo! Definitely want to spend my tourist dollars in Arkansas. Efficient, courteous and professional, state troopers and locals alike.

Thanks APA!

At the very last bit of video it appeared that the Trooper picked up a bag of dope.

They pulled him out slick as anything, just like a breech-born calf. If he had just stopped, like he knows he's supposed to, then none of that would've happened. Here's a tip: If you don't want to go involuntary Superman out of your truck window, then don't lead state troopers and local PD on a merry chase, after stealing from Home Depot. It's much more work to earn all of this than it is to avoid it.

Man, Arkansas is just a never-ending repeat of chain stores and strip malls. Looks depressing.

guess what? not your usual suspect this time. right? but still a suspect despite his skin color.

I'm from Northeast Louisiana but I love watching Arkansas State Police on The Chase

Penalties for drivers forcing a police pursuit should be harsher than they might currently be, and including restitution to cover damage to taxpayer funded property.

We LOVE OUR ARKANSAS STATE TROOPERS !! ❤💙🙏🏻😍

Love the Boys ... They dont play ... Good job officers

Thanks for the video Lt. have a great afternoon

Is the Little Rock area basically a permanent construction zone? Seems like every video you put up from Little Rock, they're chasing them through a super-dangerous congested construction zone.

what a total pos. belongs in jail for a LONG time

Arkansas Staties should have a car rally each year and see who can do the best pits 🏅

Chase started at a Lowe’s and ended at a Lowe’s. Lol.

Love those Chargers. It was our first car when we got married in 1966. RB

The guy acted like he was out for a Sunday afternoon ride until Arkansas State got involved. I think Arkansas needs to teach other states how to bring pursuits to an end, especially California!! Here in Washington state pursuits have not been allowed for the last 2-3 years. But tomorrow they get to do it again!! Arkansas probably needs to come and give these guys a refresher! I love Arkansas State Troopers ❤❤❤❤ RIP Captain Tom Bartsch. You will be missed, but continued to be loved.

Please upload body cam footages of the police and sheriff department

Interesting to see the local police cam, I guess we'll see trooper Leddon's view in a few days as well.

Top!

Those Arkansas State Troopers don’t play around. Awesome job!

75 mph...come on pump it up to at least 100!!!!

How is it that word does not spread that ASP will TAKE YOU OUT?

ASP do not play around...simply stop or you will be stopped. lovely pit and I hope that jolt gets his gray matter functioning
