You have probably seen the signs. "Speed Enforced by Aircraft."
And you might have wondered: "Are they for real?"
Watch as a Washington State Patrol Cessna 206H Turbo Stationair answers that question with a definitive yes.
Or just ask Michael Icenhour.

![Benzino confronts Altheas date, gets arrested by Braselton police
From the report of Braselton Police Sergeant Wayne Breeden: When I arrived on scene I was greeted by two males, Raymond Scott and Reginald Cuington. Both males were arguing with one another and making threats as they were separated. [Note: Cuington is never heard making threats.] Reginald seemed to cool down once police arrived, but Raymond remained visibly upset during the duration of the call. I spoke with Reginald, as another officer spoke with Raymond. Reginald advised that he and a female he has been seeing, Althea Eaton, were out for a walk in the neighborhood. Once they arrived back at Reginalds vehicle, a male approached him in a threatening and harassing manner. Reginald stated that he did not know the male, and also had no idea that Althea was involved in another relationship. [Further note: Raymond, also known as Benzino, repeatedly claimed that he and Althea were married. They are not, and they have never been, married.]
At this point, Reginald attempted to get into his vehicle, but was unable to due to Raymond being in the way. Reginald stated that Althea then got in to the drivers seat of his truck and attempted to pull away. Reginald told me that as they began to try and drive away, Raymond then struck his vehicle multiple times with his fist. I was able to view the damage of the truck, which showed two dents in the driver side rear door. Reginald then stated that Raymond continued to threaten him until police arrival.
I also spoke with Althea, and another witness, Cindy, who observed the incident from her porch. Cindy stated that she also viewed the Raymond subject shouting obscenities and punching the red pickup truck.
After speaking with Reginald, I went and spoke with Raymond. Raymond advised that he was in the area to watch his son play tennis. While watching his son play tennis, Raymond states that a male came up to him and told him he was going to shoot him. Raymond denies any involvement in the damage to Reginalds vehicle. Raymond continued to shout foul language and open ended threats to Reginald.
Raymond was taken into custody for Criminal Damage and transported to Gwinnett Co Jail. Warrants were signed with a Gwinnett County judge.
On February 3, 2022, Raymond Benzino Scott was charged with one count of second degree criminal damage to property. A felony. His case is currently open before Judge Warren Davis.

![Chevy Impala falls apart in 135 MPH pursuit
From the narrative of Trooper Quincy Harris, lightly edited for clarity and brevity: on the June 20, 2019, at approximately 12:00 p.m., Troop A Communications advised that Saline County was in pursuit of a vehicle on Interstate 30 eastbound, approaching Geyer Springs Road. Saline County advised the reason they were attempting to stop the vehicle was an outstanding felony warrant on the driver, Ricky Pennington. Furthermore, Bryant Police Department had been involved in a pursuit with the same vehicle earlier in the day.
At 12:08 p.m., I observed a single unmarked patrol unit with lights activated in pursuit of the Impala. Trooper Roam and I entered Interstate 30 East from Geyer Springs Road and we became involved in the pursuit.
At Approximately 12:09 p.m., I assumed the primary position and Trooper Roam assumed secondary.
As the pursuit continued on I-30 East, we reached speeds of more than 100 mph, driving on both the left and right highway shoulders. While continuing to drive recklessly through heavy traffic conditions, at times I had to maneuver to the inside shoulder.
[Apart from my addition of a comma, the last sentence is unaltered. Not sure thats what he meant to say... Anyway, continuing...]
In an effort to not only keep up with the Impala, but to give drivers traveling ahead of the pursuit a warning that an emergency was taking place and they need to take precautions due to Pennington driving in such a manner as to indicate a wanton disregard for the safety of the public.
The pursuit continued to reach speeds of more than 100 mph, as we took the Interstate-440 East entrance ramp from Interstate 30 East.
While on the entrance ramp to I-440, it should be noted that Pennington struck a vehicle while attempting to pass on the left shoulder. Pennington continued to drive recklessly at speeds of over 100 mph, even with a flat tire that he gained due to the collision.
Around the Fouche Dam Pike exit, Trooper Dotson took the secondary position in the pursuit due to Trooper Roam experiencing flat tires. I attempted to P.I.T. the vehicle several times, but the volume of traffic and Penningtons attempt to prevent the P.I.T. maneuver made my attempts unsuccessful. Penningtons rear passenger-side tire eventually disintegrated, causing a large piece of metal to strike my windshield. Due to the shattering glass covering the upper half of my body including my face I pulled my vehicle to the left shoulder and advised dispatch I could no longer pursue the vehicle. At this time Trooper Dotson took the primary position in the pursuit.
After locating my safety glasses in my vehicle, I was eventually able to catch back up to the end of the pursuit where the vehicle lost control and wrecked out. Myself, Troopers, and assisting agencies placed both subjects in the vehicle in custody without incident. The Saline County Sheriffs Office took custody of both subjects and [Pennington] was charged accordingly.

![123 MPH Pursuit Into the Woods
On Saturday, November 9, 2019 at approximately 9:57 p.m., I observed a vehicle traveling south at a high rate of speed. I activated my radar unit and locked in a speed of 94 mph in an 55 mph zone. I saw the car immediately slow down. As the vehicle passed my location, I was able to see that it was a black passenger car. I pulled onto the highway and attempted to catch up to the car so that I could initiate a traffic stop. As I accelerated towards the car, I could tell that the car was accelerating and that it was not maintaining a single lane. I initiated my lights and sirens once I realized the car was fleeing.
The car continued south on Highway 79 a short distance and turned west on Columbia Road 64. I pursued the car and advised Hope of the pursuit. The car continued on Columbia 64. As it traveled west, it drove between two vehicles parked on opposite sides of the roadway. The car then turned north onto Columbia Road 111. I saw an opportunity to end the pursuit and rammed the car with the front of my car. The ram was unsuccessful in stopping the car and it continued north. Columbia 111 is a gravel road and the car continued at a high rate of speed and was able to create distance between us. I was able to follow the dust cloud left by the car. It continued north on Columbia 111 until it turned north west onto Ouachita 1.
The car then traveled into Nevada county. While following the dust trail, I regained visual of the car while on Nevada 179. The car had slowed considerably as I caught up to it. I lost visual as the car rounded a curve, as I rounded the curve I could see the car had stopped in the roadway. The drivers door was open as well as the passengers. I could see feet hanging out of the passenger door as I stopped my vehicle.
I exited my unit and ordered the passenger not to move. The female passenger followed commands and was taken into custody. The female was identified as Harlie Colvin. I asked her who was driving and if he had a weapon. She advised me that Broderick Colvin was the driver and that he did not have a weapon. She said that he fled into the woods to the left of the car and that he was fleeing because he had warrants.
I asked her how long she had known Broderick Colvin. She told me that this was their first night of being alone together. Once other units arrived we searched for the suspect but were unsuccessful in finding him. A search of the vehicle was conducted. There was a Marlin .22 Rifle located between the drivers seat and the center console that the female said belonged to the driver. A knife was also found in the edge of the woods. Both the gun and the knife were seized.
I returned to Colvin and asked her why her and the suspect had the same last name. She told me she was actually married to the suspect. I stopped her and immediately advised her of her Miranda Rights. I told her that she had lied to me and that she was facing hindering and obstruction charges. She told me that the driver was actually RJ Hughey, Ronnie Damaria Hughey, Jr. Colvin stated that he told her not to identify him. I confirmed his identity through photograph. Harlie Colvin then wrote out a statement and signed that statement advising who the driver was. Harlie Colvin was released with the vehicle and charges could be pending.
The following day, I was contacted by a Deputy Alexander of the Columbia County Sheriffs Office and advised that Hughey wanted to turn himself in. I advised him to meet me at the jail at 3:30 p.m.. Hughey arrived the Sheriffs Office and was immediately advised of his Miranda Rights, he signed the rights form and agreed to speak to me. The interview was recorded on my car camera. I asked Hughey if he was driving. He responded that he was the driver. I asked him why he fled. He responded by saying that he thought he had a warrant and that he was scared.
I advised Hughey that he would be charged with Felony Fleeing by Vehicle, Fleeing by Foot, Reckless Driving, and Speeding. I told him that I would contact him Tuesday, November 12, 2019 to serve a warrant on him. He agreed to meet me when I contacted him.
The firearm and the knife were assigned the property control number of P-19-0210-HP-G. Both items where returned to Hugheys mother Chavela Hughey once it was confirmed that Ronnie Hughey was inn [sic] fact the operator and that he was not a felon. Mrs. Hughey signed an ASP 2A for the property.
During the pursuit my unit sustain scuff marks from the PIT bumper. Vehicle one sustained minor damage to the right rear and rear bumper.

![Driving With Too Much Money: Arkansas State Police Seize $96,690
On January 27, 2021, Osamah Aburas was stopped by Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS). During that traffic stop, it emerged that Aburas was transporting a large amount of United States currency. Aburas was detained and the Criminal Investigations Division of Texas DPS investigated the situation. As part of their investigation, DPS contacted a representative at First Horizon Bank in Memphis, who confirmed that the company employing Aburas, CtoR Wholesale, had an upcoming appointment. The representative also confirmed CtoRs long-standing relationship with the bank and the large-volume cash nature of their standard transactions. Texas Department of Safety allowed Aburas to continue on his way to Memphis. With the money.
The following day, on January 28, 2021, Arkansas State Police Trooper Joshua Elmore stopped Aburas for following too closely. Elmore believed that Aburass answers to his questions did not make sense, however no evidence ever emerged indicating that Aburas ever lied to the police. Aburas granted consent to search his 2019 Dodge Caravan rental, in which Elmore located the same United States currency that had been found the day prior in Texas. Elmore would later describe the currency as concealed on the rear floorboard. As is shown in a photograph at the very end of this video, the currency was in a suitcase that was in plain view on the floor. Although Trooper Elmores drug dog alerted on Aburass rental minivan, no drugs were ever located.
Trooper Elmore seized the currency, totaling $96,690.
On March 18, 2019 (yes, two years earlier), Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson signed into law the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act of 2019, which amended Arkansas law to read that There shall be no civil judgment under this subchapter and no property shall be forfeited unless the person from whom the property is seized is convicted of a felony offense that related to the property.
But that doesnt stop forfeiture cases from being transferred to federal court, where no such restriction exists, and where equitable sharing ensures that a sizable chunk of any forfeited funds is kicked back to the state.
A separate Arkansas law was intended to curb that practice. It states that No state or local law enforcement agency may transfer any property seized by the state or local agency to any federal entity for forfeiture under federal law unless the circuit court having jurisdiction over the property enters an order, upon petition by the prosecuting attorney, authorizing the property to be transferred to the federal entity. The law further states that the transfer shall not be approved unless it reasonably appears that the activity giving rise to the investigation or seizure involves more than one state or the nature of the investigation or seizure would be better pursued under federal law.
A loophole the size of a door.
On March 2, 2021, Crawford County Prosecuting Attorney Rinda Baker filed a complaint for forfeiture of the $96,690, alleging a connection to drug trafficking. Aburas filed a response as claimant, and a hearing was set for July 13, 2021. On July 12, 2021, Baker filed a petition asking that the property and case be transferred to the DEA for forfeiture under federal law:
[B]ased upon the information that DEA has provided our office, we believe that it reasonably appears that the activity giving rise to the investigation and seizure involves more than one state and the nature of the investigation and seizure would be better pursued under federal law.
No one was ever arrested or accused of a crime, and Aburas was never cited for a traffic violation. No drugs or drug paraphernalia were ever found, and Aburas was never found to have lied to the police. One day prior to the seizure by Arkansa State Police, Texas law enforcement had investigated the circumstances surrounding the currency and allowed Aburas to continue on his way with the money.
On October 27, 2021, attorney Eugene Clifford signed a settlement agreement on behalf of Mr. Aburas, agreeing that Aburas would receive $38,676 and the remaining $58,014 would be forfeited to the government. It is likely that most, if not all, of the $38,676 were intended to cover Cliffords fees for legal services.
