Pursuit/Crash I-540/Grand Ave Fort Smith Arkansas State Police Troop H, Traffic Series Ep. 1035 

H-8's incident report: "On June 25, 2024, while patrolling I-540 northbound near mile-marker five, I observed a tan Honda Accord (AR LPN ASM33Z) with a severely cracked front windshield that obstructed the driver’s view. I attempted to pull the vehicle over, but it exited onto Grand Avenue westbound without stopping. I had my lights and sirens on, following the vehicle as it sped through N 59th Terrace, including Mohawk Trail, Chippewa Trail, and back onto Grand Avenue eastbound from N 58th Terrace at a high rate of speed. While pursuing the vehicle, the driver disregarded multiple traffic control devices and traveled into oncoming traffic. Our highest rate of speed was 70 miles per hour. During the pursuit, I made numerous attempts to perform a Tactical Vehicle Intervention (TVI) to stop the vehicle at N 62 St and Kinkead Avenue, but each attempt was unsuccessful. During these TVIs, the vehicle was “brake-checking” and attempting to push me to the shoulder. Eventually, the vehicle crashed through a fence at 540 N 66 St and continued fleeing through a field. I pursued the vehicle through a field behind the property and noticed a cattle gate was damaged by the vehicle. Despite these efforts, the vehicle was abandoned with significant front-end damage at 1504 Oak Knolls Circle. Witnesses reported seeing two individuals, later identified as Timothy Fry (driver) and Rusty Willhite (passenger), fleeing from the vehicle towards Carol Ann Cross Park (1799 S 74 St). After a search, both suspects were apprehended at Camelot and Dover Circle. Mr. Fry was found in possession of a Honda Civic key. Both suspects were Mirandized and charged accordingly. After leaving the detention facility, I returned to the address of 540 N 66 St to follow up on the damages to the property. The owner was not located, but I did leave a note to call back Troop H headquarters to add to this original report. Troop H Communications was notified of this as well as the Fort Smith Police Department Dispatch. On 06/25/2024 I received a call from the property owner of 540 N 66 St, Hoa Tran, who informed me that he was aware of the damage. He could not give me a damage estimate, but advised he could when he starts to work on repairing it. I informed him of how to get a copy of the report and how to get restitution charges. He understood and had no further comments. On 06/26/2024, I received a call from the owner of the cattle gate at 18 Free Ferry North, Steven Young, who advised me that the property was worth $240. I gave him a report number as well and explained to him the same process as I did with Mr. Tran. He understood and had no further comments. Charges Timothy Fry: 5-54-125: Fleeing - Felony - Vehicle or Conveyance Substantial Danger or Death 5-54-125: Fleeing on Foot Property Damage 5-38-203: Criminal Mischief - 1st Degree (Damage > $1,00

Thank you to the folks who provided info about the suspects to the troopers! The 2 suspects were caught just strolling down the street. I suppose they thought that ASP had stopped looking for them, but ASP doesn't quit. The number of cops who showed up at the scene after they were caught was amazing! Good job!

“ don’t even breath fast” 🤣

The perps: “Let’s ditch this here Honda & go walking into another neighborhood; they won’t catch us there” The ASP:

Running from police over a cracked windshield. 🤦‍♂️From a simple fix it ticket to a felony in a second. Keeps up the good work NST 🐺.

Starting at @25:39 timestamp, the way those units arrived in a convoy was lit 🔥🥶Gave me chills They got half the department staging at that nearby location 😂 As always, thank you NST! Have a great day!

Worst neighborhood to hide and to even have that car in🤦🏾 They getting snitched on by EVERYONE 😂

My man said "DONT EVEN BREATH FAST"!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Whoever winds up with that retired cop car will never know what its been thru...

Strolling down the street forgetting they don't even look like they belong in that nice neighborhood.

Great job tracking them down Trooper Phelps. The community is on your side and helping out.

Tucker Phelps... The only Trooper in ASP who's car rattles even when parked.

This is what every neighborhood should do. Report people who are out of place.

Dude with the funky pants gave himself away.😂

Trooper Phelps is definitely a well-respected Trooper. I have no doubt that he will apprehend the suspect or suspects, especially with the help of Cpl Howard and the others assisting. BINGO done. Total Respect for ASP. NST another awesome video. Thank you for all your hard work. Thanks for the photo by Phillip Branch

The creaking in that cabin would drive me insane.

Troop H rolled deep on this one! Thanks for all your hard work NST. ❤

At 25:25 the whole calvary started to roll in, so they had the whole area covered. Those suspects were eventually going to get caught. Never have I seen so many cars show up at once, good job ASP and other Agencies.

23:57 Get on the ground!!!! Don’t even breathe fast!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂 My favorite part of this episode💯💯💯

When y'all flood and area 😲 they didn't have a chance. Great job Troopers and Officers involved. I love it when a plan comes together. 👏👏👏

Honda Accord!!!!! These cops need vehicle recognition training. We did it in the military before deployments and it helped a lot.

The dude with the "ARMY" shirt must have lost the other half of his clown costume!

It seems Arkansas is a very beautiful place 😦

12:50 _RRRaaaarrrr, one of them rice-burners, amirite?_ 😅🤣😂

Don't even breathe fast. Best line ever

I came here for the pursuit/crash, and stayed for the parade

Great Police work. The way all the units came at 25:35 was like they all arrived at the dinner party ! 🤣

Those boys are relentless. No criminals left behind.

Good example of see something, say something. Citizens pointing out direction of fleeing perps instead of so too often entire neighborhood "me ain't seen nothing."

I like the unmarked Tahoe. All optioned out.

I've noticed through the decades that often times if someone looks like a criminal, good chance they are or soon to be. Hair, clothing, skin, teeth, body language, total package, disheveled everywhere.

Love the pursuit videos NST, keep up the good work!

You can run, but you can't hide from Arkansas State Police! Good job trooper!

Thank you kind citizen/resident (whose name shall remain anonymous) for helping the good guys catch the bad guy

This might be the best episode ( IMHO ) ever posted. Those two dunces were positive they eluded the ASP. Think again!

Well.. Hello James.. This is in my area..!!..I walked at Carol Ann park daily before summer heat..

Don't even breathe fast! 😂😂

Arkansas State Police, reporting for duty!!

Excuse me Trooper Phelps: I am going to have to ban you from using, storing, or being in the possession of the Styrofoam cup, container, during videos. The squeaky squeaky squeaky is triggering the right eye twitch and I may lose it! LOL!

Glad ASP caught the crooks good job and thanks NST for the video and all that you do ❤.

GREAT JOB apprehension and resolve!

Nice work!

It is always good to see city county and state working together another great video from NST and the Arkansas State Police

Thank you James. I love NST, watching ASP. Great, great, great! 💙 ❤ 💙

Still loving my NST bumper sticker!

I love seeing all the different agencies working together. They look out for each other. So glad they caught them, but at that point they looked like they were ready to give up, lol Trying to run from a pack of LEO's wears you out, lol!! Thank you James!! Stay safe everyone 😎

Thanks NST! 💙💙

Awesome job.

The little guy looks like a pre-set GTA character in the creation screen

12:47 omg one of the funniest witness statements ever 🍚🔥🤣

Governor Sanders needs to use surplus funds for these guys to have new vehicles!! Job well done as always!!

What an absolutely beautiful place.

Good job !

It took a little bit with a lot of help, but criminals in custody. Proves that you can run but you can not hide for long. Excellent work by all the LEOS and Troopers, not to forget the local citizens that provided eye witness accounts to bring the culprits to justice. STAY SAFE OUT THERE.

Awesome 👌 photo

Why the guy in the jeans and t-shirt didn’t go his own way instead of hanging out next to Mr. Flashypants is it’s own mystery within the crime taking place. 😂

I died laughing at “rice burners” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

6:57 it’s a early 2000’s Honda Accord not a Civic

Just found your channel, love it!

Chalk one up for the blue crew ol Dale must be near sixty by now 😂

Good job.

Good morning all, NST, James and family! Such a great way to start today! Trooper Phelps didn’t give up! Will people ever learn to just pull over,and take the ticket? Guess the answer is NO! But, face it, we all enjoy a good chase! Thanks Trooper Phelps! And most of all thank you James for the best show on YT. 💙❤️💙

Starting to think I they all got out for that cool shot of them walking off at 27:49😂

5:26 HAD TO MOVE THE FENCE 😂😂😂😂😂 WHERE HE GOING 😂😂😂😂😂

Act a fool in Arkansas it's not going to end well for you Bravo to our police and Troopers ❤

NO WAY THATS MY HOUSE HE PARKED AT😂. that’s my grey mitsubishi eclipse

I wonder if they could get breaking and entering charges for ramming through private property fencing

Arkansas has some lovely views.

Be really good if you ever see those distinctive Arkansas State Police markings anywhere.

It is always a plus when other citizens see and report to the officers. "don't even breathe fast". Wonderful follow up and teamwork of different agencies. That stupidity over a cracked windshield. I am surprised there were no drugs involved, just warrants for previous infractions.

Why tie up 6 police officers when only 1 ASP was needed? Do the others just come for the show? Who is patrolling the rest of the area?

Team work makes the dream work Arkansas law enforcement don’t play they hunt 😮😊

That was a wild one, lol!

He was fleeing because of a suspended license, not the windshield since he didn’t know why the cop was pulling him. The suspect and his boyfriend are too dumb to realize that they looked out of place walking around in that nice neighborhood. Even their old Honda Accord car stood out on that street. 😂

Have my bumper sticker proudly displayed 🤙

Thank you James for the neverending supply of outstanding content. We appreciate you! ❤️

Love the photo at the end.

Community help 😊 That's GREAT 😊

Need to get that rattle fixed. That would get old.

I’ve seen this car around town…before the date of the video..they’re always all over the place 😂

Good witnesses 🙏☮️🇺🇸

3 minutes in: dude thinks he's going to escape in that trash can? 🤣🤣🤣 7 minutes in: dude escaped in that trash can. 😳 8 minutes in: Trooper's cruiser sounds like a trash can. 😅

Not a lot of "give-up" in these ASP LEO's is there...

I guess old honda accords are the car of choice now that they quit making chargers !! That old honda went a long way after crashing through to fences !

I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume these two were raised by uno moms

Will he just be let out again? Has 3 Failure to Appears, would be perfect candidate for a chain gang work detail, earn $ that could be used to pay back the homeowner who’s property he damaged

It's not a Civic, it's an Accord

Don’t even breathe fast! 😂😂😂

Well done ASP. These thought they had gotten away lol

At least they didn't hold their cell phones up in the air

Ha ha ha ha. Those guys didn't get a welcoming party. They got a fricken parade. Starting @25:32 Look at all those cops. My God.

Bruh they stick out like a sore thumb walking around in that neighborhood.

That dude looks more air force than army

12:12 I'm guessing a former linebacker for UArkie....

good caper. but am concerned there was insufficient LE coverage out on Camelot. 😊 stay safe, y'all.

❤❤❤nice going 👌 guys great detective work and thanks for the great public help.

26;33 straight up out of the wild west

I have seen so many State police cars with broken windshields so why are they stopping for that

If they really wanna punish these guys, hand 'em over consequence free to the owner of those fences they demolished. Something tells me they've got something special for guys like them.
