Arkansas police chase d a speeding Chrysler 300 that did over three times the speed limit. The police eventually ended the chase for public safety reasons after losing track of the car. The suspects were apprehended when they parked the sedan and tried to cover it with a tarp. Police across the nation know that in some circumstances, they're outgunned on the highway. Modern-day performance cars boast abilities that the everyday police car can't dream of.
Some departments have even complained about such cars. Not even Arkansas state troopers could catch up to one recently. That said, they still found their suspects in the end. We've covered all manner of police chases here before. That includes the kind where the suspect gets away thanks to an incredibly fast car and good-enough driving. In the video below you'll see a very fast Chrysler 300, but perhaps a driver who just didn't know when and how to ultimately evade officers.

He and his two passengers were subject to a traffic stop around 10 a.m. on November 29. Rather than stop though, police say Menner took off. A chase began in Earle, Arkansas, which is roughly 30 minutes from the Mississippi River. Speeds increased and local authorities asked for Arkansas state police to get involved. When that happened, the trooper closest to the action was Matthew West. As Trooper West joined the chase, Menner's driving became more evident, says The Evening Times. Allegedly, he was changing lanes without signaling, and barely avoiding collisions with other cars. West attempted a PIT maneuver but Menner managed to maintain control of the Chrysler. Then, at some point, local police used radar to clock the fleeing car at 174 mph (280 km/h) in a 55 mph (88 km/h) zone. Menner allegedly left the highway and went back onto city street
