SUMMARY: In July, State Trooper Alexandria Duncan stopped Angel Zapata Alvarado in Rogers for speeding, leading to a high-speed chase and a confrontation. Despite being tased multiple times, Alvarado did not comply with Duncan’s orders. During the struggle, a bystander intervened, prompting Duncan to draw her firearm. She accidentally grazed Alvarado on the head while trying to subdue him. The prosecutor ruled Duncan’s actions as justified, citing the suspect’s attempt to grab her taser. Alvarado, found to have a high blood alcohol level and other substances, was taken to a hospital before being held at Benton County Jail.

The Benton County prosecutor will not pursue charges as the force used by Arkansas State Police against Angel Zapet-Alvarado was deemed justified.
