HIGH SPEED PURSUIT 140+ MPH on Suzuki Motorcycle - Arkansas State Police chase follow it until crash 

Trooper's Report: On 02/06/24 at 1134 hours I, Trp. Weatherly, attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a green 2003 Suzuki G/S (LPN: 642EP) for speeding (85 in a 55) on Highway 165 at Willow Beach Rd. I was traveling east on Highway 165 and the vehicle was traveling west on Highway 165. I traveled to the right shoulder, activated my lights for a traffic stop, and got behind the vehicle to conduct a traffic stop. The vehicle immediately accelerated at a high rate of speed towards Interstate 440. I advised ASP Dispatch I was in pursuit. I accelerated to speeds over 140 mph to keep eyes on the vehicle on Highway 165. The vehicle took the onramp to I440 west. The vehicle traveled several miles and took the onramp to I30 east. The vehicle took the Roosevelt Rd. exit, went under the bridge, and got back on Interstate 30 to go west bound. The vehicle traveled west on Interstate 30 and took the Interstate 440 east exit. The vehicle took the Bankhead Dr. exit and traveled south on Jones St. The vehicle failed to negotiate the curve on Jones St. near E. 35 St. and laid the motorcycle over on the left side in the tree line on the northbound side of the roadway. The driver, Jonathon Moore, failed to stay on the bike, traveled to the northbound shoulder, and landed in a briar patch. Additional responding officers and I pulled Moore from the briar patch to begin assessing his injuries and render aid. We assessed his injuries and stood by until MEMS responded. I ran Moore and his motorcycle through the Arkansas Crime Information Center and revealed he had a suspended license, expired registration from July 2022, and did not have insurance. East End Towing responded to take possession of the motorcycle. MEMS transported Moore to Baptist Health-Little Rock where he was treated for his injuries. Moore was charged with: Fleeing, Speeding, No Liability Insurance, Driving on Suspended License, Reckless Driving, Owner Fail to Register Vehicle, and Riding without a Motorcycle Operators License.

DRIVERS ..... If you get passed by someone doing over a 140mph, CHECK YOUR MIRRORS ! ! ! Chances are good there is a Trooper chasing them and you need to get the F&^K out of the way! ! !

On a positive note; for those on the organ transplant list, the high number of “failure to negotiate curve” every Friday night in Philly has saved many lives.

That was some fine driving by that cop.

Tickets vs possible prison time. I’ll take tickets for $1000 Alex.

Imagine not only get caught because you crashed, but ending up in a briar patch!!

Having ridden motorcycles for over 30 years I can say from experience that country roads with leaves and loose dirt and gravel are not your friends.

🔥 I ran from a trooper at those speeds once…..my wife ran away with a cop and I thought they were bringing her back..🤣🤣🤣🤣

High quality pursuit video! No muzak, no yapping, just ambient sounds and clear video. Well done!

All I can say is traveling 140+ on that two lane road with center left turn lane where the speed limit is 50 is CRAZY.

The Trooper Was Driving like The dude hit his mother. Nascar Applicant, right here.

Highest speed I saw was 148….troop’s COOKIN!

Trooper has the eyes of a hawk and great driving skills! Biker actually had a chance but chose poorly when it came to the road he took.

Perp took on physics, I believe we can deduce who won 😂

"Please, please, please Brer Trooper, don't throw me in that briar patch!" (might be before some of you'ns time)

The fishtail at 110mph was impressive. This guy needs q race career.

“I can’t put up my hands- I ground them off”

Damn! Trooper Weatherly can DRIVE! Well done!

This guy's lucky to be alive.

ASP never disappoints. Great driving troop.

This trooper ain't PLAYIN'! He's dead serious.

That “Idiot!” the trooper threw out had some real Napoleon Dynamite vibes 🤣

I am going to miss these speeds when ASP runs out of Chargers

Ended up in a patch of pricks .... birds of a feather flock together

Bonus, genius lands in a briar patch too 😂

Excellent driving in a very stressful and high speed pursuit. I am surprised the suspect survived. I was an EMT and volunteer fireman in college many decades ago.

I question the value of these pursuits, particularly at those speeds. The motoring public are just too unpredictable when trying to weave in and around them. Those left-lane bandits are either entitled morons or so inattentive that they pose more of a threat than the motorcyclist. Chasing that idiot only tripled the threat to the public, in my view.

70 mph into a briar patch.

Arkansas' fuel tax money must pay for ASP high speed driving / PIT training and ASP vehicle repairs, because it sure doesn't pay for road repairs. Those are some of the worst road conditions I've seen. Kudos to the ASP for being able to maintain control at high speed with so many potholes and broken pavement.

Brer Rabbit, please don't put me in that briar patch.

Damn, driver landed in a briar patch. That shit had to hurt!

To much speed during the day....gonna get someone killed...needs to end the pursuit

Thought the roads here in the UK were rough. 😂

Arkanpit strikes back! 👮🏻‍♂️ - “We’re not happy until you’re not happy.”

That looked painful. His lack of skill in the corners is showing.

I heard them say the chopper was in the air... asp is stepping up they're game...

Man, he can drive, more exciting than Nascar lol.

Fantastic Driving by that cop!

That put a lot of people in danger to catch someone for speeding. I'm not saying the guy didn't deserve the ticket, and the rider caused his own crash but that 130mph blast through congested areas was scary.

A lot of lives at risk to avoid traffic charges. Should be one count of reckless endangerment for every other vehicle on the road in this video. Also, here in NYS we would be fired for chasing this for speed alone.

No risk to anyone? I don't think it's worth the risk to all of the other drivers on the road.

Dayum Trooper Weatherly, your driving was awesome to say the least!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There appears to be one "pucker factor" but all in all you rock!!!! You and Byrd need Hellcats!!!!

He was a thorn in the cops side.

Screeching tires swerving at 112MPH, wow, must have been a rush of adrenaline.

Why does this story remind me of the tale of Briar Rabbit: Whatever you does, Please don't throw me in that Briar Patch Suzuki !

Although that was excellent driving by the officer, I’ll bet that slowed down the digestion of his Dunkin’ Donuts booty. All joking aside, that was some dangerous stuff, I’m very pleased that no officers were injured in the making of this video.

"IDIOT'... that about sums it up!! How anyone could be soooooo stupid, to think youre gonna outrun the cops on a bike.... He's lucky He is still alive,... that could have been so much worse.

That's amazing police work! Bravo!

HOLY COW💥💥💥 THIS WAS ALMOST LIKE WATCHING MAD-MAX MOVIE👀, WAY TO GO MR. TROOPER, AWESOME JOB💥💥💥💥😎

I question whether this pursuit was worth the risk to everyone involved. If it was a murder suspect maybe I could see it, but a speeding motorcyclist is mainly a danger to himself.

"You can chase me, you can cuff me, you can beat me, but PLEEZE don't fling me in dat dere briar patch!"

Motorcyclist with VERY limited skills pushed to far.

That sound at the end is the low groan of justice.

The skill and decision making of the trooper is exceptional! A very high speed chase that he conducted flawlessly. For me, it is impressive and warming to see most drivers noting the siren and blue red flashes coming from behind, and moving over. It doesn't happen so much in Australia where too many idiots ignore emergency vehicles and exhibit the driving skills of a 3 year old.

I can’t help but wonder why it so important to capture a biker that has not injured anyone. You would think that if the plate number is recorded, you could just catch him at home.

Most high speed chases in Arkansas end is accidents or deaths. They make the situations worse and endanger the public.

one fool on a bike should NOT create another fool behind the wheel..the risk-reward ratio here was to great.. I do support law enforcement BUT, be smart about it

Motorcyclist picked the wrong cop car to mess with. Coolest driving trooper that I have ever seen. Wouldn't go away.

Excellent driving by Trooper Nevergivup 👍

ASP, please tell your officers to “keep up” so that we have a better view. JK😂😂😂

Props to the department's mechanics. That cruiser was running up to 150mph for quite a while and held up nicely.

That trooper should be fired 😳 putting people at risk 😡

The police officer endanger more lives that the bike! incredible!

140mph center turn only lane, less than a few feet from innocent drivers in both directions, includingmothers with babies in car seat. grandparents. What an idiot! (the cop)

Police officer and NASCAR driver all in one. No escape. This is a perfect example of why I don't own a street bike, but do have plenty of dirt bikes.

I hope the briar patch makes a full recovery.

Anyone can ride a motorcycle fast, the rest is the hard part.

it seems like he was running from life. risking his life. over what? doesn't make any sense at all.

This Officer is one hell of a driver. God bless you sir.

He wasn't speeding when he passed the cop at the beginning of the video. Cop put more people in danger by instigating a pursuit.

Arkansas has some the worst maintained highways I have ever driven. Driving 70 is a chore munch less 150, takes some stones to be willing to do it on a bike

Why bother putting all those lives at risk?

Great driving trooper. That M109 was fast. Several times thought he might loose him.

Dangerous to everyone on the road, cops should not chase, but they can’t help themselves. All that risk for a $200 ticket. The hillbilly in the pickup truck didn’t see the sign that said no trucks in the left lane.

Does the state have a move over law? Just can’t believe people don’t see the lights behind them and give room. With some of the speeds I understand you’re better to stay put and let the Trooper who is trained at high speed maneuvers do his thing but most drivers I see are just oblivious to their surroundings.

This is a bad time of year for winter grit to be on the back roads, best not try chit like that on them this time of year..., love the slow mo thanks...lol

I used to be a policeman. The powers that be, decided "No more pursuit." From that day on, we cops couldn't lay paper on a little old lady riding a Mo-Ped. Everybody ran.

Crashing into the trees at 11:30 AM is not what's meant by getting morning wood. 🤣🏍

The only way to not get caught by police is to not give them a reason to issue a written warning or citation, let alone arrest you.

Are you actually a dispatcher for law enforcement in Arkansas? I read that on Google while researching another YTbr. If so thanks for your service and thanks for posting these videos!

The second I saw how much dust he was kicking up on the road he took I knew he was gonna loose it. I will never understand bikers that choose to take the highway to run from the police. You give up your one advantage: maneuverability.

These A-holes should not be chasing people at those speeds, call ahead get the license plate number, and send them a ticket.

LOL ATE IT. It was more fun at 2xs play back speed.

LOL I LOVE IT

Seems like a lot of unnecessary bulshit just to catch a two-wheeler speeding

That was insane. Hell of driving sir

I wonder if it was worth it to put all those innocent drivers lives at stake to stop an 85 mph bike…

Skilled or not, chasing after anything at this extreme speed in any kind of traffic constitutes reckless endangerment, and I saw several possibilities that could have resulted in catastrophe with innocent drivers for whom it may have been difficult to react in time to a police vehicle coming up behind them at over twice freeway speed. It is animal behavior fueled by high testosterone. I have high respect for most police departments, but there needs to be more real-time oversight in determining the merits of a pursuit and whether it should be terminated.

Thank you to those who keep us safe from those who endanger us and want to do us harm! Keep safe and again, thank you.

That was beyond STUPID and the cowboy motorcycle driver as well as cowboy cop put the rest of the road in higher serious catastrophic danger

Very entertaining but unless the person has committed a murder, robbery or other serious crime these chases are too dangerous. Cops need to stop letting their ego's control them.

Thats risking a lot of lives just to catch one guy on a motorcycle speeding.

If you can’t loose a pursuit in the initial 3 minutes then you have only a 3% chance of losing the chase vehicles. Because by the end of 90 seconds of a pursuit the police have used their radio to start boxing you in. If you are on a motorcycle use the advantage of size and acceleration to your advantage, find a pinch point that will allow your small vehicle to move through but force your pursuit to go around, then find a place to get your vehicle out of view of your pursuit. In a full size vehicle use well known backroads to lose your pursuit, for instance, a blind right hand turn that give you two exit opportunities, or a terrain feature that can make your pursuit slow down substantially.

What do we have? International terrorism? Homicide? Gotta be another way than hauling past grannies and gas stations at 140+ mph to get a 30mph ticket that was probably gonna slow down in town anyway until he saw the cop.

One of the most dumbest and most reckless thing I have seen by the police putting everyone in danger at them speeds and for what to barley catch a bike that was speeding wow

The cop may be a good driver, but is it really worth it. If one car that hadn’t noticed the cop zooming up on them till the last second swerved the wrong way, it would have been a bad one. Don’t know how fast the bike was going when he first saw him, but I doubt it was as fast as the cop was running trying to catch him.

That centrifugal force is a real bummer.

That was a lack of grip on a dusty road.

cops are stupid, let him go... it isn't worth it. Just cause he is crazy doesn't mean you need to follow suit. go check cameras and pick him up later... be smarter

Nice way to kiss the ground fool!
