Digested by: Kent Morlan
Tyrice Fletcher fled when an officer tried to stop him for a traffic violation.
On Sunday, May 24, 2026, at approximately 3:15 p.m., an ASP Trooper attempted to stop a 2012 Toyota Highlander for a traffic violation. The driver failed to stop, and a pursuit ensued. The Trooper did not know children were in the vehicle.
The vehicle reached speeds in excess of 100 mph as it left the Camden city limits and continued south on Ouachita County Road 47. The suspect passed multiple vehicles and swerved into oncoming traffic. A Trooper was unsuccessful in two Tactical Vehicle Intervention (TVI) attempts.
After a lengthy pursuit, the suspect lost control in a curve, left the roadway, traveled through a yard, struck a light pole and overturned.
A Trooper immediately secured a 4-month-old infant that had been unrestrained and was ejected from the vehicle. Troopers worked quickly to safely remove three other children, all under the age of 6, from the vehicle, which was perilously close to live electrical wires.
“I could not be more proud of the way our Troopers performed their duties that day,” said Troop F Captain Rick Neill. “The suspect’s decisions placed four innocent victims in harm’s way. At any point during the pursuit, the suspect could have stopped. He refused to stop. The danger created that day was the direct result of the suspect’s actions. Our Troopers put the lives of those children first, setting aside their own personal safety.”
All four children were transported by ambulance to Ouachita County Medical Center for evaluation and treated for minor injuries. The mother of the children was notified and responded to the hospital.
