00:00This one's going to come to us from the Arkansas State Police in Fayetteville.

00:04And just a word of warning, folks, this pursuit gets really fast.

00:11Did he be? Holy shit, he is.

00:14An Arkansas State Trooper is hurrying to catch up to a Cadillac STS clocked at nearly 115 miles an hour.

00:23The southbound, the trucks are the 65s.

00:25The trooper's trying his best to catch up, but with the car now going 140 miles an hour, that is no easy task.

00:37All right, what are you doing?

00:39Take an exit, dude. I cannot keep up.

00:42Looks like the driver may be getting off the highway.

00:45Take an exit, 61, 71.

00:51There's a traffic light up ahead.

00:52The driver runs the red

00:56and jumps back on the highway.

01:05The trooper pits him.

01:07TBI, A&B, TBI, A&B.

01:1210-4 is the vehicle stop.

01:14Nope, he's on the wrong way.

01:15Shit.

01:22All right.

01:24We're still, we are getting back on northbound, am I?

01:29I didn't understand what you said.

01:31Nobody cares.

01:33The driver's now back on the right side of the road, dragging the rear bumper.

01:37Northbound, 49, front lane, 61, the Stars Tour.

01:41And there goes the bumper.

01:48Northbound, approaching the 62, speed 135.

01:51A second trooper joins in the pursuit.

01:5541, I'll probably be able to get them in this turn.

01:57I'm here at the 67, three states north.

02:00I'm going to get in, TBI here.

02:01I'm going to try to testify, up to 70.

02:03The driver's now going 135 miles an hour.

02:10The trooper's now right behind him.

02:13Northbound, 67.

02:15And moves in for another pit.

02:17Northbound, approaching the 63.

02:18But it's too dangerous.

02:2030, that's your address.

02:22You got a spike at 70.

02:24What are these walking?

02:25Up ahead, an officer prepares to deploy spike strips.

02:2910-4, 41, I'll take it from your waist back to your...

02:32We're approaching the 70.

02:34The trooper slows down.

02:36It's side lane, fast lane.

02:39Look out, like, right there.

02:40You can't see it here, but the officer tosses the spikes.

02:44I can't tell if I'm going to do it or not.

02:46Looks like the spikes were a success, because the tires are starting to fall apart.

02:50Again, the trooper moves in for a pit.

03:06They're now surrounded at gunpoint.

03:26The driver says his gas pedal was stuck.

03:43Hey, sir, I'm not lying.

03:44Which doesn't quite explain the U-turn he took earlier.

03:48Let me ask you a question.

03:50Your gas pedal's stuck, right?

03:51Okay, so whenever we got to 71, you sold all the way down, you flipped around, you got back

03:55done.

03:56Listen, ITVI'd you over there, you went into the other lane, you came back, you kept going.

03:59No, I...

04:00You're a dumbass.

04:01Just admit it.

04:02No, I was...

04:02Now, 41-year-old Michael Dorsey was charged with fleeing substantial danger of death, unauthorized

04:11use of another person's property, as well as a multitude of traffic violations.

04:15The passenger was taken into custody, but later released.
