HCNN - Deported Felon FIGHTS Arkansas State Police Trooper

On March 24th, 2023, I made a traffic stop on a vehicle for traveling 90MPH in a 75MPH zone. The vehicle pulled over on
Interstate 30 westbound at the 2mm.

The operator appeared very nervous by visibly shaking, had a tremble in his voice, and wouldn’t sit still in his vehicle. The
operator stated that he did not have his identification on him but had a photo of it on his phone. When looking at the ID on his
phone it did not appear to be the same subject operating the vehicle. The name on the phone was Wilmer Perez DOB:
02/13/1994. The passenger, Daysi Fajardo, wrote the name on a piece of paper and handed it to me. I noticed Fajardo had to
look at the name and birthday on the card for reference while writing. I did not get a return on the name. I then ran the
fingerprints of the driver and it returned to Ezequiel Duran DOB: 02/13/1994. Duran showed to be a deported felon.
I then
attempted to arrest Duran for obstructing governmental operations.
While trying to arrest Duran, he started to pull away and asked why he was under arrest. Duran then started to try to pry my
hands off him and pull away. I then took Duran to the ground two times. Duran was able to get up and run north toward the
woods next to the interstate. I attempted to tase Duran as he jumped a fence but was unsuccessful. Duran was never located in
the woods.

Fajardo was arrested for hindering apprehension, taken to the Miller County Jail, and booked in. Fajardo was released on a PR
bond. I will be getting a warrant for Duran for resisting arrest, fleeing on foot, obstructing governmental operations, and
speeding.
