Clifford Siglar, 38, is headed to federal prison for over eleven years after a summer 2024 bust turned into a high-speed chase across Little Rock. The DEA and Little Rock Police Department caught Siglar with 2.6 kilograms of fentanyl, enough to kill tens of thousands, and a loaded .57-caliber handgun in his black Chevy Camaro.

Under surveillance for months, narcotics investigators watched Siglar allegedly peddling dope from a Little Rock residence. On August 26, 2024, officers observed what they believed was a drug deal unfolding – Siglar stashing something in his Camaro. When cops moved to pull him over, Siglar floored it, sparking a pursuit that quickly exceeded 114 miles per hour, with Arkansas State Police joining the chase.

The chase ended when an ASP trooper disabled the Camaro, sending it crashing into a stand of trees. Siglar didn’t stick around. He bailed from the wrecked vehicle and ran before being apprehended by officers. A search revealed the handgun on the driver’s side floor and a backpack stuffed with fentanyl and drug scales in the trunk.

Siglar pled guilty in October 2025 to possession with intent to distribute more than 400 grams of fentanyl. U.S. District Judge James M. Moody Jr. handed down the 140-month sentence today, along with five years of supervised release. It’s a long stretch, but prosecutors say the amount of fentanyl Siglar was moving justified the hefty penalty.
