Dodge Charger Sows Chaos For Arkansas Troopers On Independence DayA guy in a Dodge Charger Scat Pack gave Arkansas troopers a real run for their money on Independence Day this year. Dashcam footage of the chase, which involved quite a few ASP units, shows the guy really uncorked the performance on his Mopar muscle car, almost literally running circles around troopers.
YouTuber arrested for street racing in a national park.
The dashcam footage starts with our camera car waiting for the purple Dodge Charger Scat Pack to come along. Sure enough, it blasts into the frame and the trooper gives chase as they both find their way around slower traffic blocking both lanes.
From there, the suspect gaps the trooper big time, then disappears on the horizon. In other words, the guy just smoked the trooper after ditching one right before.
Thankfully, ASP has troopers stationed all over and they’re looking for the distinct Mopar. One spots the suspect, who’d probably feeling pretty smug by that point, and another chase ensues once the trooper goes code three.
It’s the same story as before, the Scat Pack easily gapping the cop car. However, that trooper stays on the suspect along with some other nearby units. From there, the footage jumps from one ASP unit to another because none of them can keep up with the guy.
But ASP is swarming the area in an effort to put an end to the dangerous chase. We see one trooper almost run into a bystander’s car, thankfully stopping just in time, as well as other close calls.
At one point, towards the end of the pursuit, the suspect dodges a Stop Stick as it’s thrown right in front of him, so the guy has good reflexes.
Funny enough, what takes out the fleeing Dodge Charger Scat Pack in the end is a roundabout. The guy must’ve not realized one was coming up, and at his breakneck speed he just couldn’t navigate it, wrecking out into the curb instead.
