Arkansas State Police will be conducting an administrative review of the police troop that patrols the northwest part of the state, an agency spokesman said. The review follows several incidents from Troop L in Springdale, including a high-speed pursuit that resulted in a trooper striking a lieutenant with his vehicle, police spokesman Bill Sadler said. Trooper Alan Aiken's report states he mistook Lt. John Overman of the State Police for a fleeing driver during the Jan. 11 pursuit. A video recording shows Aiken's car striking Overman from behind and knocking him sideways to the ground. Last week, Overman filed a complaint against Aiken and said the trooper wasn't taking the incident seriously and said a tire rolled over his lower legs and gave him "life-long" injuries.
