MAN ARRESTED FOR ASSAULTING STATE TROOPER, FLEEING CUSTODY ON NEW YEAR’S EVE
January 15, 2025 BENTON, Ark. — On Monday, January 6, 2025, Arkansas State Police (ASP), along with the U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force, arrested Luis Danielle Valdez-Reyes, 29, of Little Rock, for assaulting an Arkansas State Trooper and fleeing from arrest. The arrest stems from an incident that occurred on Tuesday, December 31, 2024, at around 7:15 p.m. when an ASP Trooper stopped a Ford F250 pickup truck traveling eastbound on Interstate 30 in Benton for a traffic violation. During the stop, Valdez-Reyes, a passenger in the vehicle, was found to have an outstanding felony warrant from Little Rock for mail theft. When the Trooper attempted to arrest Valdez-Reyes, he resisted by pulling away and striking the Trooper before escaping on foot.
He is being held in the Saline County Detention Center on a $15,000 bond, facing multiple charges, including Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer, Resisting Arrest, Obstructing Governmental Operations, Fleeing, and Public Intoxication. U.S. Homeland Security Investigations officials say Valdez-Reyes has been living in the United States illegally, using the alias Ronald Solis. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District is pursuing  federal charges against Valdez-Reyes for Illegal Reentry after Deportation, pursuant to a January 7, 2025, indictment. The vehicle's driver received a citation and was released on traffic charges.
