A viral video from Arkansas shows the terrifying end of a high-speed chase involving 23-year-old Thalia Jones and her 3-year-old son on May 2 in Joiner. After Jones refused to stop for state troopers, Arkansas State Police used a PIT maneuver, and the vehicle veered off Highway 118, crossed back, and rolled over near a ditch. Seconds later, the toddler climbed out unharmed and ran toward officers, while Jones exited and yelled to troopers. Jones now faces multiple charges.
Keshia Smith, still mourning the deaths of her son and father, found a rare 3.09-carat diamond at Arkansas’s Crater of Diamonds State Park. The unusual site sits on an ancient volcanic pipe that keeps producing new gems for visitors to take home. She named her find the Za’Novia Liberty Diamond, turning unexpected geology into a symbol of healing and meaning.
