LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — On Monday, August 26, a vehicle pursuit led to the discovery of 6 pounds of fentanyl and the arrest of a Little Rock man.
According to reports, Little Rock police requested assistance from Arkansas State Police in pursuing a 1999 Chevrolet Camaro on South University Avenue near 65th Street.
Troopers saw the suspect vehicle enter a residential area near Baseline Road. The pursuit then continued north onto Chicot Road and University Avenue, with the suspect going over 110 mph to try and evade law enforcement.
