Two separate traffic stops conducted by Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s deputies have resulted in the arrest of two out-of-state fugitives, according to Sheriff Stuart Wright.
The first arrest occurred Sunday, March 29, at approximately 10:34 p.m., when deputies patrolling on La. Highway 6 near Robeline stopped a 1998 Toyota pickup truck for a traffic violation. The driver was identified as 31-year-old Brian Krolezyk of Fort Collins, Colorado.
A routine check through national law enforcement databases revealed Krolezyk was wanted by the Colorado Department of Corrections since January 2025 for a parole violation. The warrant was confirmed, and Krolezyk was taken into custody without incident. He was transported to the LaSalle Corrections/Natchitoches Detention Center, where he remains awaiting extradition. Deputy K. Edwards and Deputy Sgt. D. Caballero made the arrest.
The second incident occurred the following morning, March 30, at approximately 7:57 a.m., when deputies stopped a 1996 Ford pickup truck on La. Highway 6 East near Tauzin Island Road for an expired license plate. The driver was identified as 49-year-old Keith Hurley of Pine Bluff, Arkansas.
A records check showed Hurley was wanted by the Mississippi Department of Corrections for a parole violation related to previous charges, including possession of methamphetamine and resisting by flight. After confirming the warrant, deputies arrested Hurley and transported him to the detention center.
While processing Hurley, deputies reported detecting a strong odor of marijuana. A search conducted during booking uncovered approximately 9.6 grams of suspected marijuana concealed on his person.
Hurley was booked on charges of Mississippi fugitive for parole violation, possession of CDS I (marijuana), and introduction of contraband into a penal institution. He remains in custody awaiting extradition to Mississippi. Deputies R. Thomas and J. Bonner made the arrest.
Authorities said both individuals have extensive criminal histories.
Sheriff Wright noted the arrests highlight the importance of proactive patrol work and the role of national law enforcement databases in identifying wanted individuals. He said systems such as the National Crime Information Center and NLETS allow deputies to confirm warrants and share information across jurisdictions, often leading to arrests during routine traffic stops.
