Officers said that Thomas was the driver who led Little Rock police officers on a pursuit on May 24 that ended in a crash near Roosevelt Road.
The driver in that incident got out of the vehicle and ran through a neighborhood, but other occupants in the vehicle later identified Thomas as the driver, the report said.
Thomas was in the Pulaski County jail without bail as of Wednesday evening.
