On May 9, 2020 at approximately 8:45 p.m., a Greenwood officer made a traffic stop on US Hwy. 71 and AR Hwy 10 Spur. The vehicle, a red Pontiac Firebird, with Oklahoma tags, was traveling southbound. The officer observed the vehicle as having a defective tag and break light. The driver also failed to signal, and crossed the white line. As that vehicle turned onto Mount Zion Road, the officer made a traffic stop. The vehicle failed to stop and accelerated at a high rate of speed. The officer advised dispatch of a pursuit. Shortly thereafter, the officer witnessed a muzzle flash from the driver’s side window and heard a “pop.” After advising dispatch of the gunfire, the officer backed off the pursuit, but continued to follow the suspect. As the chase neared Cliffside Lane, the officer discovered the vehicle turned upside down and two people fleeing the scene. A homeowner on Mt. Zineche Road called and advised that a female with muddy and dirty clothing had knocked on his door and told him that she slept in his shed the night before. The address given was
approximately one quarter of a mile from the crash scene. The Greenwood Police Department responded, along with several deputies and the
Arkansas Highway Police. Law enforcement located a white female, Krystina Hefner, 28, walking on Mt. Zineche Road. Hefner was reportedly uncooperative and refused to identify herself. After verifying her identity utilizing the Arkansas State Police fingerprint scanner, law enforcement discovered Hefner had a warrant out of Oklahoma. Hefner was charged by Sebastian County with breaking and entering. On Sunday evening, the Greenwood Police Department received a phone call about a man walking east along State Highway 10. The caller gave a description of a man fitting that of the suspect. A fingerprint scanner positively identified the suspect as Jacob Jeffrey, 29. Additional charges include fleeing by means of vehicle and aggravated assault, both felonies, reckless driving, defective signal or stop lamps, improper lane usage, two counts of fleeing by foot, obstructing governmental operations, and refusal to provide information, all misdemenors.

“medically sound.” The officer questioned Daws about her condition, and she stated she had no medical conditions. Daws did admit to taking two 10 mg hydrocodone and two-three .5 mg of Ativan. Daws also stated she had gotten the medication from someone else. The officer asked Daws to perform the SFST testing battery.
