Biker Plays With His Life Trying To Evade Arkansas State Police
On April 11, 2024 at approximately 5:06PM, I attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a maroon in color Honda motorcycle bearing Arkansas registration 122FY on the off ramp of US Highway 62 near State Highway 5. The traffic stop led to the arrest of Troy Gessner on a felony fleeing charge and numerous other misdemeanor charges. While traveling eastbound on US Highway 62 Bypass near State Highway 201, I observed the vehicle listed above traveling the same direction ahead of me. I observed the operator of the motorcycle weaving in and out of traffic in a reckless manner. After the motorcycle cleared the traffic, I observed it to accelerate at a high rate of speed continuing eastbound on the bypass. I
activated the front antenna of my patrol unit's radar which gave a digital readout of 80mph in a posted 60mph zone. I activated my overhead emergency lights in attempt to catch up with the vehicle. I was able to catch the motorcycle as it exited the bypass
and onto the off-ramp to State Highway 5. I activated my audible siren to signal for the driver to yield. The motorcycle turned right (southbound) onto State Highway 5 and continued traveling past the Baxter County Road and Bridge Department. The operator of the motorcycle revved the engine and merged into the continuous left-turn lane and accelerated at a high rate of speed passing other vehicles who were traveling north and southbound. I advised Troop I-Harrison Communications that I was in active pursuit of the motorcycle and to contact a supervisor. The motorcycle continued southbound on State Highway 5 at a reckless high rate of speed. The operator of the motorcycle traveled southbound in the northbound lane numerous times almost causing numerous collisions to innocent bystanders. As the pursuit entered Salesville, the motorcycle continued onto State Highway 177 after running a posted stop sign. The motorcycle continued southbound on State Highway 177 near the Norfork Dam. As the motorcycle passed the National Fish Hatchery, it passed a school bus who was traveling northbound. The operator continued up the hill towards the top of the dam.
The operator failed to negotiate a curve near Quarry Road which caused the motorcycle to exit the roadway left and overturn. As I pulled up on the scene, I observed the operator to stand up from the ground and place his hand in the air. I gave verbal commands for the operator to get on his stomach. The operator complied and I was able to place the operator into custody without further incident. I advised Troop I Communications to send an ambulance to my location to have the operator checked out. The operator identified himself as Troy Gessner 08-20-1994. Troy stated he ran because he didn't have a motorcycle
endorsement. While speaking with Troy, I could smell a strong odor of burnt marijuana coming from his person. Troy admitted he had some marijuana roaches on his person and that he had smoked about an hour and a half earlier. I observed Troy to have bloodshot/glassy eyes and dilated pupils. Due to possibly sustaining serious injury from the wreck, no Standardized Field Sobriety Tests were given. During search incident to arrest, I located a cigarette pack in Troy's jacket pocket. Within the pack, I located numerous burnt marijuana cigarettes (roaches).
Once the ambulance arrived on scene, Troy was transported to Baxter Health in Mountain Home, AR to seek further medical attention. I traveled to Baxter Health and made contact with Troy who was getting treatment by medical professionals. I read Troy the Arkansas Statement of Rights and he agreed to submit to a urine test. The urine test was obtained in a room within the emergency room. After giving an adequate sample, Troy stated and signed that he did not want a second test at his own expense. Moments later, Troy was discharged from the hospital. I transported Troy to the Baxter County Sheriff's Office where he was
book in on the following charges:
Fleeing in a Vehicle (Class C Felony)
Reckless Driving (Unclassified Misd)
Possession of Marijuana (Class A Misd)
Possession of Drug Paraphernalia (Class A Misd)
DWI-Drugs (Class A Misd) Fail to Obey Stop Sign (Unclassified Misd) Riding without a Motorcycle License (Unclassified Misd) Speeding more than 15mph Over Limit (Unclassified Misd) Property Control An affidavit will be completed and forwarded to the Baxter County Prosecutor for further review.
The urine will be sent to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for further testing. The marijuana will be store in the evidence vault at Troop I Headquarters in Harrison.

#like #the #video
The amount of drivers who never check the rear view mirror is astonishing...
They may as well be on a different planet. In their own little world, half of them are probably staring down at the phone in their lap more than even looking out the windshield. There could be a parade behind them and they'd never know about it
It's truly astonishing. Every driver should be at least glancing at their rearview mirror AT LEAST once every 15 seconds. It also doesn't help that automakers are now making car windows with TRIPLE pane glass, to cut down on noise. I also think there's just a lot of scumbags who pretend they're oblivious because they hate the police, too. Many factors.
@@truthteller4442 The laminated glass isn't for sound. It's a federal law that all side windows be laminated glass just like the windshield to prevent ejections in accidents . I'm almost deaf in one ear. I hear sirens way off with the windows up. And I am constantly looking in my mirrors like you are supposed to do .
To the person at 1:05 driving the Chevrolet: Enroll yourself in a driving school and learn how to drive.
Passing Dollar General.. 5 minutes latter ... Passing Dollar General
Don't forget Waffle House.
@@Supertrucker1962 From the other videos I've seen looks like they start at the Waffle House. :)
A lot of tall steeple churches.
Dam
Its Arkansas
First time I've seen that Dam in an ASP chase. Arkansas sure has some nice scenery.
Once you get out of the Mississippi River Embayment and into the Boston or Ouachita Mountains Arkansas is beautiful.
It is beautiful up there.
Norfolk lake. Very pretty up there.
I’ve left my Arkansas ozark home a few times and I always find myself coming back. What a gem we have here. I love it.
"is this a god dam?"
The bikes are loud and turn like a paddle boat. Expected outcome.
He had a license plate, who tf runs with a plate 😂 mine as well hand the officer ur drivers license then run
Harley rider made the fatal mistake of taking to roads with corners.
He would have been caught, anyway 😊
He made the mistake to run from the police to begin with, People on bikes are not above the laws and it's funny that so many of them have to be reminded that Laws do pertain to them and these highway don't belong to them!
@@brianpage7569 I get it, you don't like motorcycle riders. There are VASTLY more videos of police chases involving cars than motorcycles. I'll admit a factor is probably that in most cases motorcycles get away and that doesn't make a very good video. I'll guess you are also one of the people who subscribe to the belief that it's appropriate for the police to seriously endanger the lives of innocent road users to catch a person for a traffic offence, no matter what. In nearly all these videos, that is what is occurring, from either the reckless driving of the police vehicle or the person they are chasing. The ONLY person in danger from recklessly riding a motorcycle is the rider themselves.
He was riding a Honda.
@@whaheydelee750 Shadow Ace
He was just looking for a safe place to pull over. Like his grandma's house in Missouri.
I've never understood why these guys all think they're so invincible because they're on two wheels? Asinine mentality.
That goes for anyone that decides to run from the police officers, it's just not smart. I hope he spends a lot of time in jail.
Freedom is asinine to you? Okay
Stupid actions, serious consequences
Gotta love the nex that sit in the lane, some even slow down, without pulling over for the cops.
They refused to pay for my flat tire, so no more pulling off the road.
I've actually gotten confused by that myself when I'm in the left lane getting around someone slower in the right lane. If the cop comes up behind me with his lights on, I don't know if he's after me or someone else. If he's after me, and I speed up to get back into the right lane in front, then I look like I'm trying to get away and/or increased the amount of speed that he can write me a ticket for. On the other hand, if I slow down to tuck back right behind the other car, and he's after someone else, then I've just slowed him down. What's the right thing to do there?
@@cvkline That's when you push the self destruct button.
They should capture the plates of every vehicle that didn’t move over during these chases and send them a citation.
Absolutely. Or suspend their license and make them take driver's education again until they can drive like a competent adult.
@@DetectiveTrupo203 I'll never for the time I I was driving down the road 3 suad cars all lights on came screaming down the road in the opposite direction. I pulled over for them, the car in front of me did not. The last squad car in the line of three pulled a screaming U-Turn in front of me, .5 mile down the road he had pulled over the car that had been in front of me.
In fifty years of riding, I can think of only one person with whom I rode that MAY have run from a traffic stop. Must be something in the water.
That cop sucks at driving.
Stupidity and internet clout chasing…they’re hand in hand
@@te4bag_k1ngp1nI’ve been outrunning the crooked cops for 30 years. Long before any internet was conceived. I only say this for clout. 😂😂
@@bigskunk801It’s not the cops that are crooked, it’s the bent brain idiots that endanger others with their own stupidity. And I’ve ridden motorcycles for more years than you’ve been alive.
@@bigskunk801 ok 🚬
Siren sounds like a Pac-Man game when the power starts to wear off and the ghosts start to chase you again 🤣
You can’t outrun the police in a 1987 Honda nighthawk 😂
3:30 That was close
Darwin was trying his best.
I never thought he could get this far in his wheelchair.
Good one!
😂
that is too close to home, an insult to us people who are wheelchair bound and the wheelchair itself.
@@willbmcl I am very sorry. Didn't think about it. Wish you all the best.
@@Blisken81 it's okay, like calling someone a moron or retard is insulting morons and retards. it's the criminals and these educated idiot judges that turn these criminals loose all the time.
What's a Harley's top speed? I don't think I've ever seen a chase where one did more than about 110. Why even try?
Apparently, it was a Honda. A Harley would have crashed way sooner 😅
Those harley guys are mostly fake alphas who think they're much tougher than they really are... that's why he tried
AMEN 🙏
105mph
bc they are biker idiots in their own little small world
I'm guessin he leaned it too far, scraped a peg then lost rear wheel traction. Would like to see the size of the "pussee patch" on the sides of that Honda bike's tires.
When I owned superbikes, a bunch of us idiots would go out at night and perform "sparking contests", which entailed going as fast as we around on-and-off ramps to see who could make the biggest, baddest spark line with our foot pegs. Wore a few pegs out this way. Not dangerous at all, imo....
The what now
When I used to ride we called them ‘chicken strips’
Yea the first time I rode a Harley I rubbed footpeg within minutes.
I second the chicken strips
A Harley. Shoulda left it in the shop.
South park did an episode on bikers like this
yep, they were 100% accurate on that episode
@@MrNitestorm1 history shows that they generally are good at forecasting the future..also.
Another Harley boy who thinks his stock Harley is fast XD
Except that was a Honda according to the caption, albeit it was a Harley knock off Honda. If it was a Harley, it would have been louder and slower.
@@ddMcDd-yl4td Touche'. I didn't read the description lol
The days of running and getting away on Harley's/Honda's are over.....The 1970's-1980's are over. Chargers and even Ford police SUV's can keep pace these days.
Yup Hondas and Harleys ain't cutting it, gonna need a sports bike 600cc and up to escape in a chase
honda has fast bikes way faster than any police charger
@@vincentdipazio8143 Bike in the video was a Honda clone of a Harley.
70's and 80's? State police in Pennsylvania had Plymouth Furys with a 440. You couldn't outrun them then either.
@@JR9979Honda has never and doesn't make a "clone" of anything.
At 9:54 you can see a puma on the side of the road.
10:08 he wrecks out
Nice tour of the countryside...
You can't fix stupid.
These people who run are such idiots. Just make a state law with mandatory minimum prison sentences for running. If you run for more than two minutes at speeds in excess of 20mph over the speed limit endangering the public you're going to do a minimum of 5 years in prison and your bike will be seized and sold at auction. I imagine most of these people wouldn't do this garbage if they knew it meant getting locked up.
Shhhh
Just means more people will run and run even harder
@@dizzerguy8079 Who wouldn’t run from gang members?
NEWSFLASH! Criminals don't obey laws. Hundreds of thousands of laws on the books.
You’re more generous than me personally I think if someone runs it should be minimum 10 years before their eligible for parole
Coming from a person who right street bikes he was actually riding pretty good on those turns but definitely started going pass the limits of the bike and his skills. Can only lean a Harley so much till the tires leave the chat
Did he say passing Rossi? No Harley is passing Rossi😅 .If you don't get it you're not a Moto GP fan, that's all right.
He should get one year in prison for every minute of the pursuit. I don't want people like that biker out in society around me.
1:30 Toy Story clouds
Thanks for losing the moving watermark.
Which is funny because this is an old video we have seen on a couple other channels already.
I have been driving for 49 years and never missed a cop coming up on me. They used to teach you to use your mirrors for more than fixing your hair . I am constantly looking in my mirrors .
The one time you hope for traffic, and don't get it. Not the best bike for that sort of work but maybe the best environment possible. He just needed a group of cars big enough to buy him time to get out of sight and turn. I mean, they got his plate so probably trouble finds him later, but by then something in his pockets or bags won't be there.
If he was so worried about the W then why did he not get rid of it along the road or whatever on foot. All that runnin for nothin.
Why didnt homie run? He had the W in the bag
We all knew from the thumbnail that he would be caught. It's not a crouch.
You can't consider him running going that slow !!!
I like your channel. With all the videos it makes me think there are car chases in Little Rock every 30 minutes.
I have to give it to you Arkansas boys, Y'all sure can drive!
The moment the rider chose to go up the twisty road, I knew he was done.
Damn, he survived.
Stupid can’t be fixed…
that Harley must have shook his brain lose ,
Dammit, I thought it said "man PAYS with his life" and was disappointed he lived'
Says “I was scared! “. Probably another immigrant sent across the border to us.
Could he br____
Could he br____
Sooo.....was it a Honda or a Harley??? Enquiring minds want to know!
Hardley rideable struggles to outrun a near 2 tonne patrol car
It was a Honda rider.
9:35 Dam that's impressive!
The biker was putting his life on the line the second he got on a Harley let alone speeding.
as soon as i saw the 15 mph road sign for a curve, i figured it was going to be over.
sounds like he has the siren in demo mode.
Riding through this world… All alone…
You cannot lose the police on a 4-stroke putt putt, you have to have a one liter rice rocket to even have chance of evading.
What wonderful curving roads for a bike ride in the sunshine! Not so good when you're being pursued...
I thought TN was bad for people camping in the left lane. Arkansas looks worse. Rompin', stompin' 64 H.P. If noise was speed, these Harleys would be a rocket!
And the Cop stops On the Blind Curve...
Some bikers feel invincible flying on their bikes until SMACK something stops them DEAD in their tracks
Slowest motorcycle chase I’ve seen. Needs to get himself a Yamaha R1 or something.
A lot of okee fenokee Harley bashers in the comments. Apparently they think imported bikes are the way to go. America being soldout?
Don’t take it too personal, everyone acts tough on the internet but wouldn’t say shit in person to a Harley rider.
Somewhat click bait by the title would assume the man was killed
10 minutes after the chase starts, the biker: "i wasn't gonna run from you man." 😂
the black minivan should have been stopped and ticketed for blocking the passing lane. i guarantee you that if the trooper wasn't behind them, they wouldn't have moved over.
Not a chance for a getaway on a Harley.
He tried to outrun the cops on a Harley? Seriously? On the slowest, most gutless road bike you can buy? Wow!
I don’t understand why they wouldn’t call off the chase after they got a return on his 28 aka license plate. Not worth risking so many people lives driving like that get him when he goes off. Chases need banned
What dam is that looks impressive
if youre gonna run.........never pick a harley
Beautiful countryside.
LMMFAO 😂😂😂😂!! I’ve been riding Harleys all my life, I can’t count how many times I’ve been pulled over? Never ever thought about running! Harleys just ain’t that bike! Especially on them roads! Gallant effort!
Gotta love the road pirates.
The only times you get away is if you are on a sportbike and get far enough ahead and then get off the highway and hidden... OR if you have enough dirt capability to go off road where they can't follow like through a forest and then get hidden- of course if they can read your plate it doesn't matter much although it may get you out of a dui at the cost of the running charges.
This has got to be one of the only law enforcement that drive over a hundred miles an hour with no lights and sirens you do that in any other department and you're getting fired and I'm sure that's not their protocol but I see them doing it all the time in these videos just ask the trooper in Florida that got fired for that after he caused a major accident
Lol....."I wasn't gonna run from you"? When were you going to stop?🤔😂😂
Stupid and high on meth is no way to go through life, son.
What was he thinking ? On a Harley? Slow n heavy n cant turn.
his name was Steve Splattenflatten... to the treeeees!!!!
“wHaTcH oUt FoR mOtOrCyClEs” tho…..
Can't out run cops on a two wheel tractor!
Why the f do that on a Harley?
The guy on the bike made several mistakes 1 he bought a harley 2 he bought a harley 3 he bought a harley 4 he thought he could out run the cops on that junk 5 he bought a harley.
Cool, a self pitting motorcycle
The cops have your license plate number. Unless you've stolen the bike, what's the point of running? They know where you live.
Good idea of troopers to risk countless lives in a high speed chase of an idiot on a motorcycle
It’s funny when people think the police officers stop this guy when actually the majority of runners are stopped by AI Gross and his 1945 invention But in this case, the officer did an awesome job of keeping up with the two wheeled idiot.
Did he really just say he wasn't running from them? LOL
Amazing roads! Driving from both..stupid, dangerous thing to attempt. I dont care how good of a driver you are, Never trust other drivers! He's lucky to be alive. & cop risked everyones life for a f-n ticket.
How many dollar stores did they pass 🤣🤣
IM AN IDIOT!
Left lane campers and people not paying attention.
Wrong kind of bike to run on. A Harley would be last on my list. Any fat cruiser. The hint is in the name - Cruiser. Need a sport bike, or better yet, an adventure bike, so you can off road where 2 wheels is an advantage.
I sowwy.
I was hoping to see a pit maneuver on the bike 😮
I don't know why y'all think you're going fast on these cruisers !!!
bro let the cop catch up too him on the twisties? bro don't deserve to ride lmao I been long gone once those turns come in
The cop needs some driving lessons. He had plenty of opportunities to drop some corners to go faster and didn't. If the biker were a better driver, he would have gotten away!
At least the cop didn’t come off the top turn buckle with a knee to his back. The Road Pirate didn’t turn “his” car into a weapon. This one is human. 👍🏾
On a Harley ???
Running from the cops in a car is playing with fire but on a bike your playing with the reaper, more so on a cruiser, big heavy bikes, so many more dangerous things can easily just happen and your in trouble, no protection you get in a car even though even in a car when your numbers called your times up,
Nice job officer
