A Houston, Texas man was arrested following a two-parish vehicle pursuit that ended near Natchitoches, according to Natchitoches Parish Sheriff Stuart Wright. The Sabine Parish Sheriff’s Office contacted the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office on Feb. 26 around 11:16 pm requesting assistance with a vehicle pursuit entering Natchitoches Parish eastbound on La. Hwy 6 West.
Sabine Parish deputies were reportedly pursuing a white 2015 Kia SUV.
Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Deputies, along with the Natchitoches Police Department, deployed units along the La. Hwy 6 corridor in response.
As the vehicle continued eastbound through the communities of Robeline and Hagewood at an excessive speed, refusing to stop, NPSO deputies deployed tire deflation devices, near the Natchitoches City Limits successfully disabling the vehicle.
The driver exited the vehicle and fled on foot toward businesses along La. Hwy 504, where he was apprehended without incident by Natchitoches Police officers.
Roland V. Rayment III, 20, of Houston, Texas was transported and booked into the Natchitoches Parish Detention Center on charges of:
Aggravated Flight from an Officer
Resisting an Officer
Additional charges are pending in Sabine Parish as the investigation continues.
There were no injuries.
Sheriff Wright stated, “I want to commend our deputies and the Natchitoches Police Department for their quick response and coordinated efforts in bringing this pursuit to a safe conclusion. Their actions helped protect motorists and residents along the highway corridor. We will continue to work closely with our law enforcement partners to ensure those who endanger the public are held accountable.”
Deputy J. Severance and Lt. B. Remo were involved in the pursuit apprehension assisted by Natchitoches Police.
A local wrecker service impounded the vehicle. Mugshot currently unavailable.
