Separate car chases result in two arrests
Police arrested two people who led officers on separate chases in Little Rock and North Little Rock that ended when the suspects crashed into fences, according to police reports.
A man led police on a 4-mile chase Sunday that ended shortly after his vehicle crashed into the fence of a Little Rock home, police reported.
A Little Rock police officer stopped a black Honda Civic with fake tags about 4:38 p.m. on North Chicot Road near Interstate 30. After a passenger exited the vehicle and walked toward the officer's car, the driver fled north.
The officer pursued the suspect at 55 mph to Greenway Drive and Westmont Circle, where the suspect purportedly exited the vehicle while it was still moving. It rolled across a resident's front yard and struck a fence, according to police.
Fleeing on foot, the suspect jumped over another fence and into a backyard where there were several dogs, according to the report. That's where he surrendered.
No injuries were reported.
Police reported finding two Xanax pills, two smoking pipes and two syringes in the vehicle. One of the syringes purportedly contained methamphetamine.
Shawn Isaacs, 35, was charged with fleeing, careless driving, criminal second-degree mischief, improper use of registration and driving with a suspended or revoked license. He also was charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Isaacs was being held in the Pulaski County jail in lieu of $25,000 bond late Tuesday.
Police identified the passenger as Brandy Harris-Parker, 39. When she exited Isaacs' car during the traffic stop, she was attempting to distract the officer, according to police. But she left her identification in the vehicle, and it was recovered by police.
No other arrests had been made as of late Tuesday.
On Tuesday, a man was arrested in North Little Rock after he led police on a shorter but faster chase.
Officers stopped a vehicle at 500 Rose Lane after the driver ran a stop sign. As they walked toward the vehicle, the driver took off on Rose Lane and reached speeds of about 100 mph, according to a police report.
Officers reported that the suspect narrowly missed other vehicles while he sped south across U.S. 165 and burst through a gate onto a dirt road. The suspect then drove across a field and crashed into a fence, according to the report.
Jamal Doss, 19, was arrested about 1:45 p.m. and charged with fleeing.
No injuries were reported in the chase, which spanned slightly more than a half-mile. Further details were not available.
Doss was being held at the Pulaski County jail in lieu of a $5,000 bond late Tuesday.
Victim in shooting recovers, arrested
A victim in a June 14 shooting was charged with a pair of felonies after his recovery.
Little Rock police officers found Tory Wade, 29, on the parking lot at 7515 Geyer Springs Road after a shooting about 7:46 p.m. June 14.
Witnesses told police that Wade was shot by a group of men in a silver car, according to police reports, and he was taken to UAMS Medical Center.
Police found Laron Ware, 21, in the silver car. He had been shot and later died.
According to a police report, Wade fired a handgun at a vehicle and also struck a nearby residence.
He turned himself in to officers Friday and was charged with committing a terroristic act and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Wade, of 10800 Lorie Lane, remained in the Pulaski County jail Tuesday in lieu of a $100,000 bond.
Police say sleeping LR man had drugs
A Little Rock man faces several felony charges after officers found him asleep at the wheel of his car early Tuesday morning.
After a call to a 7724 Geyer Springs Road parking lot, Little Rock officers found Michael Anderson sleeping in his Chevrolet Impala about 1:21 a.m.
According to police reports, Anderson, 35, had been sleeping there for hours, and officers had to knock loudly on the window for Anderson to wake up.
When he did, he set aside a gray bag that was on his lap and stepped out of the car, according to police reports.
When officers searched the bag, they found a "golf ball size" baggie of suspected cocaine, a scale, three prescription bottles with another person's name on them and a small bag of marijuana hidden in a cigarette box, according to the report.
Anderson was charged with felony possession of cocaine, felony possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana.
He was in the Pulaski County jail Tuesday afternoon in lieu of a $22,000 bond, but his name did not appear on the jail's roster as of late Tuesday night.
