On July 21, 2025, at approximately 5:00am a Vilonia Police Officer conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle for speeding on Hwy. 64. The vehicle stopped and the officer was given a false name and asked two occupants to exit the vehicle, 15yo juvenile driver and passenger Jabariyon Crenshaw. The vehicle then fled towards White County and the vehicle broke down on Hwy. 64 near Gilliham Rd. in Beebe. The vehicle was later found to have been reported stolen from the City of Beebe.
The passenger fled in one direction with the driver exiting the vehicle and running onto Hwy. 64. The suspects and officer got into a physical altercation in the roadway with the officer on the ground. The suspects then jumped into the officer’s unit and began to flee towards Beebe with White County Deputies and Beebe Police got involved in a pursuit of the stolen police vehicle. The pursuit continued onto Dewitt Henry Drive near Carson Street, where the suspects fled on foot from the vehicle after the vehicle crashed into ditch.
ADC along with Arkansas State Police responded to assist in the apprehension and location of the suspects. It was later determined that the suspects were located at an address on Road Island Street in Beebe. State Police Swat and White County Sheriff’s Office Special Response Team responded to the address and were able to call the suspects over a loudspeaker, and they were taken into custody.
Both suspects gave statements about their involvement with the juvenile being transferred to Faulkner County Juvenile for Felony Fleeing and Crenshaw is initially charged with Felony Theft of Property and more charges are pending.
