The Fort Smith Police Department’s narcotics and vice unit were heading to a home in the 2100 block of North 46th Terrace on Friday when a vehicle pulled out with two men inside.

Officers tried to conduct a traffic stop, but the driver took off, starting a chase, the release states. Officers spotted the passenger, later identified as Amador, dumping things out of the window. The chase ended when the driver jumped out of the car while it was still moving and took off on foot in the 4600 block of Spradling Avenue.
