On October 24, 2024, Arkansas State Trooper Ben Ibarra engaged in a dramatic high-speed pursuit of a black BMW 540 driven by Jaylen Lacy, following a reported theft at a gas station in Little Rock, Arkansas. The pursuit began after Lacy refused to comply during a traffic stop and escalated into a dangerous chase through city streets, with speeds exceeding the limit and evasive driving tactics.

Despite losing the vehicle briefly, Trooper Ibarra and other officers canvassed the area and found the BMW parked in a nearby neighborhood, with stolen champagne bottles inside. The driver, identified as Lacy, was later arrested after reporting his vehicle as “stolen” in an attempt to mislead authorities.

Lacy now faces multiple felony charges, including Aggravated Robbery, Fleeing by Vehicle, DWI, Theft of Property, and more. This pursuit highlights the skill and determination of law enforcement in safely handling high-stakes situations.
