Trooper's Report:

I was working traffic enforcement in West Memphis at the intersection of Broadway and MLK when I witnessed a group of
motorcyclists run the red light at the intersection.
I attempted to initiate a traffic stop by activating my emergency lights and siren in the westbound lane of Broadway when the
motorcyclist began to flee. One of the motorcyclists performed a U-turn in the middle of Broadway and traveled eastbound. The
other three proceeded westbound on Broadway, two of the motorcyclists turned left onto unknown side streets and the third
continued westbound on Broadway.

The motorcyclist who continued westbound on Broadway was driving at a high rate of speed and was very reckless. I
attempted to slow the suspect down by passing him and slowing down as other officers kept him from turning around and
fleeing in the opposite direction.

The suspect passed me on the left by going into the eastbound traffic lane, striking my patrol unit's mirror as he passed. I once
again successfully passed the suspect and coordinated with the other units to get the suspect to slow down and finally stop on
U.S. Highway 70 just west of College Ave.

The suspect was taken into custody and identified as Brandon Tolbert of Memphis, Tennessee. A search of his person
revealed a backpack that contained 25.7 grams of Marijuana, Scales, and a Taurus 9mm G2C serial # ADB904946. The gun
and Marijuana were turned over to the 2nd Judicial Drug Task Force.

Mr. Tolbert was taken to the Crittenden County Jail and booked on the charges listed below:

5-54-125(D)(2) 2023 – FELONY FLEEING
5-64-419(B)(4)(D) – POSSESS CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE
5-64-443(B) – POSSESS DRUG PARAPHERNALIA
5-74-106 – DRUGS AND FIREARMS, SIMULTANEOUS POS
