LITTLE ROCK, AR - A man was arrested Sunday morning after he led police on a high speed through Lonoke, Jefferson, and Pulaski counties.

England Police originally responded to a call from a woman who said her boyfriend was trying to run her off the road. After police attempted to stop the car, the driver took off, leading police on a chase in excess of 100mph.

Police chased the suspect, believed to be Robert Goodwin, through 3 counties before losing him. Several hours later, around 9:45am, police found Godwin’s car at a home in Pulaski County on Highway 161. There, they found him barricaded inside a shed.

While waiting for backup, police say Goodwin fled into a nearby field. An England K-9 Unit tracked him and found him lying in a field, where he was arrested.

Goodwin is charged with felony fleeing and aggravated assault. Police say he was also wanted on two outstanding warrants as well.

His last name is GODWIN. I know him, No he is NOT a meth head. Just has a temper and NOT the smartest tool in the shed. Totally shocked to see he acted this way.

Is the suspect's name GOODWIN or GODWIN? It was spelled both ways in the article.

I have to ask.....Is it because it is an election year or HAS EVERYONE GONE CRAZY? I am so sick of turning on my computer or tv and seeing all the crime and all the crazy's. I have to ask if all this is because we as a nation has taken the Lord Jesus Christ out of our lives and satan has a strong hold on the nation now? Lord please help us PLEASE!!!!
