On August 19 in Blytheville, Trooper Teddy Henderson pursued a speeding SUV that hit over 130 mph before spike strips stopped it. He ordered 23-year-old backseat passenger Tedrick Washington Jr. out; when Washington said he couldn't, Henderson broke the window, grabbed him by the arm and dreadlocks, pulled him through, and punched him twice during the struggle, per the officer's report. Charged with resisting arrest, Washington—a former college basketball player—was mistaken for streamer Kai Cenat by many, fueling outrage before fact-checks set the record straight. Reactions split between calls for the officer's firing over excessive force and defenses citing the risky chase and passenger's resistance. ]]> Sun 30 Aug 2026 13:59:03 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619208/arkansas-trooper-pulls-passenger-by-dreadlocks-after-high-speed-chase/
