Carswell was driving his Dodge Charger when Police Corporal Jaleel Brown of Monroe County decided to run his plate.

The officer initiated a traffic stop after discovering the car's owner had outstanding warrants.

However, Carswell refused to pull over, leading to a three-mile car chase that ended after the officer applied a PIT maneuver.

Thompson was reportedly in the car during the incident.

She was later picked up from the jail by her sister Lauryn "Pumpkin" Efird.

The latter has been Thompson's sole custodian since 2022.

This came after their mother, Mama June, was arrested for drug possession some years before.
