Arkansas State Trooper meets Girlfriend & Boyfriend within two nights - PIT Maneuvers both! #police

Trooper's Report:

On 3/21/2024, at approximately at 6:31pm, I (Tfc. Brady P. Nuckels) was patrolling Highway 247 looking for a wanted
individual. The subject I was looking for was Donna Richards. She was wanted on three warrants two of them being felony for
trafficking a controlled substance.

As I approached Devils Creek Road, I observed a Chevy Cavalier traveling towards me. The vehicle was one that I had seen
Mrs. Richards in before from an incident earlier that week. As the vehicle passed me, I positively identified Mrs. Richards
driving. As I caught up to the vehicle, the vehicle crossed the fog line.

I initiated a traffic stop on Highway 247. As I hit my blue lights, the vehicle began to flee. I notified dispatch that I was in pursuit.
As we traveled down Highway 247, we reached speeds up to 95 mph. I went to TVI the vehicle as Mrs. Richards brake
checked me. I swerved to avoid hitting the vehicle. As the vehicle passed me, I went in for another TVI. As I touched the
vehicle’s rear driver side fender, the vehicle broke loose.

We continued to travel and onto Highway 213. As I was pursuing the vehicle, the vehicle was negotiating multiple corners in the
opposite lane. As we traveled onto a straight stretch I began to attempt another TVI. Once again Mr. Richards brake checked
me and I missed the vehicle. I knew we were coming up to the top end of Devil’s Creek Road and that Mrs. Richards was going
to turn onto the road to try to dust me out. As Mrs. Richards turned onto Devils Creek Road, I rammed the rear of the vehicle
knocking her off the highway into a field not allowing her to continue to drive reckless on the road.

As I knocked her into the field, Mrs. Richards began to travel back towards the wood line. Knowing the area, I quickly traveled
down the road to a residence where I knew I could get back into the field. As I arrived at the residence, I traveled behind the
home into the field. I located Mrs. Richards in the field. She attempted to get back in the vehicle and take off. I made up my
mind I was not letting her back behind the wheel and rammed the front passenger side of the car disabling it.

Mrs. Richards exited the vehicle and began to flee on foot. I began to chase her and deployed my Conducted Energy Weapon
(CEW) with good effect. As she hit the ground, Mrs. Richards rolled over and stated that she swallowed heroin. I then had to
wrestle Mrs. Richards into handcuffs. She stated she wanted to die. I told her she was not going to die as I ran back to my car
to grab my narcan and call for an ambulance. I then had to wrestle Mrs. Richards again as she tried to bite me. I restrained her
head to apply the narcan. As I applied two doses of narcan, I notice Mrs. Richards was going limp. I ran back to my unit to grab
more narcan. I informed dispatch to get me survival fight as I knew if I did not get her to a hospital quickly she was going to die.

As Trooper Fales and Trooper Belcher arrived, I instructed them to bring a AED incase we had to start CPR. At this time I
administered four narcan in total. As we prepped her for CPR, we administered her two more doses of narcan. We decided to
move her up on the road to wait for the paramedics. We did everything from sternum rubs, poured water on her, and talked to
Mrs. Richards to keep her awake. We began to try to find a LZ to land survival flight close to us. Survival flight arrived and Mrs.
Richards was flown to UAMS and is stable.

After the incident, I drove to UAMS to check on Mrs. Richards and charge her. Mrs. Richards was stable and doing well. Mrs.
Richards was charged with the following:
