Trooper's Narrative:
On Friday, March 11th, 2022, at approximately 8:03 am. I was on patrol in Greene County near Lafe, Arkansas. I was traveling
northbound on State Highway 34 in Lafe when I observed a white Chevy passenger car traveling southbound on State Highway
135 at a high rate of speed. My front radar, opposite direction, confirmed the vehicle was traveling at 72 miles per hour in a 40
mile per hour zone.
At approximately 8:04 am, I attempted to make a traffic stop on the vehicle utilizing my patrol vehicles' emergency lights and
siren. With the suspect vehicle failing to yield, I contacted Troop C dispatch and Greene County Sheriff's Office and advised
that I was in pursuit.
Continuing southbound on Highway 135, reaching a top speed of 107 miles per hour, we approached the city limits of Oak
Grove, Arkansas. At approximately 8:07 am, Trooper Davenport advised he was traveling northbound on Highway 135
approaching my location and several school buses were in Oak Grove. Due to the approaching school zone and time of day, I
attempted to perform a PIT (precision immobilization technique) maneuver on the fleeing vehicle. At approximately 8:08 am, the
suspect car slowed briefly due to a small traffic buildup, at which time I initiated a PIT maneuver.
After a successful PIT, the vehicle slid down a small embankment on the east side of the roadway. I ordered the suspect out of
the vehicle. Assisted by Chief Deputy Shannon Anthony of the Greene County Sheriff's Department, and after a brief scuffle,
we placed Luia Matthew Dunn (10/18/1990) under arrest. In his front right jacket pocket, I located a switchblade knife. I
discovered a vape pen containing THC liquid juice inside the center console.
After the pursuit, I learned the tags were fictitious and stolen from Corning, Arkansas. Rudi's Towing towed the suspect vehicle,
and Dunn was transported to the Greene County jail. Dunn had a parole warrant with the Arkansas Department of Corrections
and a warrant with the Craighead County Sheriff's Department.
