Trooper's Edited Narrative: On 5/20/2023 at 3:21 PM I, Trooper Jackson Shumate #242, initiated a traffic stop on a black GMC Sierra bearing Arkansas License Plate #175YXC at US Highway 67 South at the 3 mile marker along with Trooper T. Van Schoyck and Trooper A. Escamilla. The vehicle was known to be driven by Arrested Person Christopher Monroe, who was wanted for drug traffic charges out of Sherwood PD. He also had an another active warrant out of Rockwall County, Texas for Evading in a Motor Vehicle, entered just ten days prior. Arrested Person Monroe had fled from the Arkansas State Police on 05/04/2023 and on 05/19/2023. Trooper A. Escamilla drove beside the vehicle and confirmed that Arrested Person Monroe was driving. Due to Arrested Person Monroe's criminal history and fleeing history, we attempted to box him in to prevent him from being able to flee and become a danger to the public. However, Arrested Person Monroe was able to maneuver out of the box and rammed into Trooper A. Escamilla's patrol vehicle as she attempted to block him with her vehicle. He then began to flee the scene. Trooper T. Van Schoyck took primary in the pursuit and immediately attempted a TVI (Tactical Vehicle Intervention) on Arrested Person Monroe's vehicle. The TVI was ineffective and caused Trooper T. Van Schoyck to spin out. I then took primary in the pursuit. Throughout the pursuit, Arrested Person Monroe drove in a reckless manner that showed no regard for the public's safety. Sgt. Briggs performed a TVI, which flipped the vehicle over. The following was found: 64 grams of ecstasy 100 grams of meth 436 grams of cocaine 89 grams of fentanyl pills 182 grams of marijuana 12 grams heroin 46 grams of Xanax $8,612 in cash Taurus handgun Various drug paraphernalia Charges include: Trafficking fentanyl Trafficking cocaine Possession with purpose to deliver ecstasy Possession with purpose to deliver heroin Possession with purpose to deliver meth Possession with purpose to deliver cocaine Possession with purpose to deliver marijuana Possession with purpose to deliver Xanax Felony Fleeing Simultaneous possession of drugs and firearm Unauthorized use of property Aggravated assault on Law Enforcement Possession of firearm of certain persons Possession of drug paraphernalia Various traffic charges
