On 05/22/20, at approximately 10:49 pm, Trooper Earnest Benton had just merged onto College Avenue southbound from Fullbright when he spotted three sports cars racing northbound on College Avenue at speeds he estimated to be well over 100 miles per hour. Trooper Benton swung around after the third car passed his location. He was in a pursuit.
The fleeing vehicles increased their speeds, and started weaving through light traffic as they fled. As the three vehicles passed Main Street, two turned their lights off. At night. From that point, they were only visible when they braked.
The three vehicles entered into the city limits of Springdale, Arkansas on Thompson Street, running a red light at the intersection of Thompson Street and West Lakeview Drive. They continued weaving In and out of traffic as they fled northbound.
Trooper Benton noticed vehicles stopped just south of Locomotive Avenue on Thompson Street in the northbound lanes of traffic, and saw that one of the fleeing cars had crashed into a creek on the east side of Thompson Street. There was a red Chevy Camaro upside-down in the creek. And its two male occupants were exiting.
Meet Brian Escobar-Lopez and his friend Humberto Ibarra. Escobar-Lopez was charged with felony fleeing and racing. Felony Information was actually filed, and his case is still open.
A look at Mr. Escobar-Lopez’s driving record, only in relation to the State Police, reveals that he wasn’t lying about his history of speeding tickets.
On July 5, 2019 Sr. Cpl. Raymond Triplett stopped and cited him for driving 97 in a 70, and for reckless driving.
On November 16, 2019, Trp. Zenda Staab stopped and cited him for driving 106 in a 70, and for reckless driving.
On May 6, 2020, Trp. Mason Redding stopped him for driving 101 in a 70, and – again – for reckless driving.
For context, as a reminder, the pictured incident occurred only shortly thereafter, on May 22, 2020.

Of course it’s the Arkansas State Police. Always up to something
Brit hat friend was a legend he seemed upset or confused that he had to Testify against his homie thats some real shit
Should’ve made a right as soon as they crested the hill
Don't waste your time with this video. No chase no arrest. Nothing.
These idiots racing on our public streets kill innocent people all the time
So glad the officer didn't have to tell their parents they didn't make it.
Doing 120mph down an urban road for a minute to catch a kid that lives his life 10 seconds at a time.
Arkansas and Oklahoma state troopers will launch into orbit to end a pursuit. People should know they won’t get away from these agencies lol.
'Spread your cheeks and lift your sack"
“I’m really sorry officer†the sorry card ain’t gonna cut it bud
For as smart as these young kids think they are, he sure doesn't know much.
Dumb all the way around….
Are y'all okay?
No!
What's wrong?
My heart. lmao!!
He was wanting to know if you were hurt, not are if you were scared! lol.
He was so scared that he thought his heart was going to beat out of his chest.
Look how much of a pro this cop is. Cool, calm, collected. Not over hyped. Got his job done.
You’re not rolling are you?
This kid doesn’t even know what month his birthday is?!?! Or his address?!?! These millennials tell you what. UNREAL!!!
Officer “uuuuuhhhh……n…..stuff†badge number uhhhhhh…n…stuff
a ticket for racing is nothing fleeing police is another story
Imagine being 19 and not knowing your address 😂🤡🤦â€Â♂ï¸Â
This is like the 4th time in about a year Troop L has ended up on this channel, in pursuit, and in my own hometown. One of which I could clearly see the entrance sign to my subdivision. Crazy world.
Omg driving without lights is a fucking blast. But, time and place. Time and place
Going over 100 kph through a city which which could've easily killed someone simply because some punks were fleeing an almighty cop. We need reform
Illlegals… we did it joe
I will say the trooper, Handel this well. But I don’t agree with the high speed chase for racing.
This idiot cop just created a more dangerous situation than someone driving with a .29 bac.
Disappointed that nobody has mentioned how the big kid looks at the skinny kid when asked who was driving then the skinny kid whispers something and when the cop comes back and asks again the big kid looks and the skinny one and stares then takes the blame. skinny kid was driving without a doubt based on that body language.
They're lucky they even lived, the cop even almost lost control a few times.
Nobody says "that's a big" before "10-4" in this video, disappointments galore, it's all downhill from there….
Somebody sells propane. And propane accessories.
This zoomer zoomed too hard
30:35
You're not rolling are you?
I saw the passenger doing it with SWELL80 over at xvideos
This trooper's got so many versions of the story going he can't keep them all straight…
Is it really worth pursuing someone racing??? I can understand if they killed someone.
Street racers are a nuisance, and they can cause fatal traffic accidents. There should be a law that lets police seize their cars, you wouldn't see much street racing then.
I would like to know what they are whispering to each other
Wonder why everyone’s so willing to help out with the paperwork?lol
