On Tuesday, June 15, three suspects led Arkansas State Police on a high-speed chase in Logan County.
An ASP Trooper attempted a traffic stop in Booneville when the vehicle attempted to flee. ASP pursued the suspects from Booneville, east on State Highway 10, and through the city of Magazine before executing a PIT maneuver (pursuit intervention technique) just east of the Magazine city limits. The successful maneuver caused the suspects’ vehicle to leave the roadway and crash into the ditch. The vehicle then became engulfed in flames. The suspects had to be pulled from the vehicle. Two of suspects required medical treatment.
The reason for the initial traffic stop or the current condition of the suspects is not known at this time. Arkansas State Police is still conducting their investigation and have not released any details.
