In July 2020 Janice Nicole Harper was driving home on I-67/167 outside Jacksonville when Senior Cpl. Rodney Dunn clocked her speeding.
Dunn says she fled, Harper clams she was trying to find a safe place to stop on a section of interstate that has a reduced shoulder.
Dash camera video from Dunn’s patrol car showed Harper pulled into the right lane, slowed down, and turned on hazards.
Less than two minutes after turning on his blue lights, Dunn performed a PIT maneuver, which caused Harper’s car to crash into the concrete median and flip.
“In my head I was going to lose the baby,” said Harper, who was pregnant with her daughter at the time of the crash.
Nicole Harper, who was pregnant at the time, was clocked going 84 mph in a 70 mph zone last summer, according to the lawsuit. Within seconds of Arkansas State Police Officer Rodney Dunn turning on his patrol cruiser's overhead lights, Harper pulled over to the right lane, turned on her emergency blinkers, and slowed to 60 mph.
She was "unable to safely stop her vehicle on the right or left shoulder due to concrete barriers and a reduced shoulder being on both sides of the road… leaving [her] with no room to safely pull over her car," the lawsuit states.
Dashcam video of the incident shows that about two minutes after turning on his lights, Dunn hit the pregnant mother's back left bumper, sending her car crashing into a concrete barrier and flipping over.
PIT stands for Precision Immobilization Technique.
It’s used by Arkansas State Police to intentionally hit and spin out cars during chases.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU ARE STOPPED BY A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER
Pull over to the right side of the road Activate your turn signal or emergency flashers to indicate to the officer that you are seeking a safe place to stop. If you are unsure if you are being stopped by an actual police officer activate your turn signal or emergency flashers and pull into the nearest well-lit location, or dial 9-1-1 and request confirmation that an actual police officer is attempting to stop you. Pull to the nearest/safest spot out of the traffic lane (Don't stop on bridges or overpasses)
