Trooper's Narrative:
On, December 22nd, 2023 Stone County Deputies initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle for following to closely to another vehicle.
Deputies advised that the vehicle pulled over and then quickly sped off. Deputies pursued the vehicle. Deputies stated that the
vehicle was traveling at speeds exceeding 80 MPH and they observed items being thrown from the vehicle. SGT Joe Beaudin,
with the Stone County Sheriff's Office requested assistance from Arkansas State Police Troop I Dispatch.
I took lead on the pursuit, just West of Pleasant Grove. The vehicle was exceeding speeds of 90 MPH and was unable to
maintain its lane of travel. The pursuit continued into Independence County. Approximately 5 miles into Independence County,
the driver of vehicle, identified as Caleb Gurley, lost control of the vehicle and wrecked. Mr. Gurley was very uncooperative and
would not provide his name and information to law enforcement and medical staff who were trying to render aid. The only
statements that were made by Mr. Gurley were threatening in nature and he cursed the medical staff. I observed several
unopened containers of Busch Light inside of the vehicle.
Both occupants were transported by ambulance to the White River Medical Center in Batesville, AR. When I arrived at the
hospital, a search warrant was obtained for Mr. Gurley’s blood, based on the suspicion of DWI. I spoke with the passenger of
the vehicle who stated that Mr. Gurley had picked her up at approximately 4:00 PM and they were going to his parents’ house.
The passenger stated that Mr. Gurley had been drinking in the car while they were traveling and that she saw him drink 2-3
beers on the drive, she also stated that she believed that he had been smoking Marijuana. I asked the passenger why Mr. Gurley ran, and she stated that he said that he had warrants. The passenger stated that she told Mr. Gurley to stop the vehicle
several times during the pursuit but he refused.
During a search of the vehicle, a small container of Marijuana and a Marijuana pipe were located inside of the vehicle. Later,
when Mr. Gurley was asked about the Marijuana and the pipe, he stated that it belonged to him. Mr. Gurley also stated that he
ran because he had warrants. It was also found that Mr. Gurley had a suspended driver’s license.
