Mayflower, Arkansas — On Sunday, January 8, 2023, at around 1:00am, Faulkner County Sheriff's Deputies initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle driven by 53-year-old Michael "Scotty" Helton. Helton did not stop the vehicle and fled, beginning a high-speed pursuit. Faulkner County Deputies and Conway Police Officers pursued the suspect into the city limits of Conway and on Faulkner County backroads. Law enforcement officers were fired upon by Helton multiple times within the pursuit. State Troopers joined the pursuit and successfully deployed spike strips on State Highway 89. With deflated tires, Helton reached the intersection of State Highway 89 and Interstate 40 where he struck a concrete curb and the vehicle came to rest. During the course of the encounter, Helton pulled out a gun, leading three State Troopers and one Mayflower Police Officer to fire their service weapons. Troopers attempted to render medical aid but Helton succumbed to his injuries on scene.
