REDFIELD, Ark. — On Monday, March 23, 2026, at approximately 11:15 a.m., the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO) requested assistance from Arkansas State Police (ASP) with a vehicle pursuit northbound on Interstate 530 near Redfield.
JCSO deputies were pursuing a fleeing suspect identified as Deandre Brothers, 29, who was wanted for Terroristic Threatening, Aggravated Assault, and Resisting Arrest.
At around 11:30 a.m., ASP Troopers took the lead on the pursuit, and the suspect reached speeds of 125 mph, nearly colliding with other vehicles. A Trooper executed a Tactical Vehicle Intervention (TVI) near the Redfield exit. Following the TVI, the suspect’s vehicle crossed the median into the southbound lanes and collided with a van driven by a civilian, who was not injured.
The suspect exited the vehicle and attempted to flee on foot but was apprehended by JCSO deputies. A passenger in the suspect’s vehicle was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries. No law enforcement officers were injured.
“This suspect endangering the lives of countless motorists traveling on I-530,” ASP Col. Mike Hagar said. “We thank God no one was seriously injured as a result of his reckless decision to flee from law enforcement.”
The incident remains under investigation. Additional charges against Brothers are pending.
