On Monday, April 8, 2024, at approximately 10:51 pm, I, Trooper Chris Dunham was notified by Trooper Blaine Middlecoff that the Osceola Police Department was in pursuit of a vehicle northbound on Highway 61 going through the city of Osceola. As further information came in, it was found that the driver of the vehicle was suspected of stealing a firearm just prior to fleeing from law enforcement. I responded to Highway 61 at the Blytheville City Limits to attempt to intercept the pursuit. At approximately 10:59 pm, I observed a maroon Kia Rondo traveling northbound on Highway 61 at 75 miles per hour with Osceola Police units pursuing closely behind. As the vehicle entered the Blytheville City Limits, a Mississippi County Sheriff's Deputy deployed spike strips successfully. As the pursuit passed my location, I gave chase and took over as the primary unit. As I was behind the vehicle, the driver continued to maintain a speed of approximately 50 miles per hour and was not showing any sign of stopping. To prevent the vehicle from entering a populated area and risking further flight, I used a Tactical Vehicle Intervention (TVI) utilizing my vehicle’s bumper to spin the suspect vehicle in a clockwise direction away from traffic. After the TVI, the vehicle left the roadway to the right and came to rest in an empty grass lot. The driver was given verbal commands to exit the vehicle and was taken into custody without further incident. The driver, identified as Dasha Coleman, was transferred to the custody of the Osceola Police Department on scene. The suspected vehicle sustained minor damage as a result of the TVI to the rear passenger bumper and fender. All charges will be handled by the Osceola Police Department, including FleeingFelony, Driving on Suspended, No Insurance, Expired Tags, Speeding, and Careless and Prohibited Driving.
