A Natchitoches man was arrested Monday afternoon following a vehicle pursuit and brief foot chase in Robeline, according to the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office.

Sheriff Stuart Wright said deputies were dispatched around 2:22 p.m. on April 6 to a reported disturbance involving a male and female in the 8900 block of Texas Street.

While en route, deputies were advised that the male suspect had fled the scene in a 2015 black Nissan Altima. Deputies later located the vehicle and attempted a traffic stop on La. Highway 6 east of Robeline, but the driver refused to stop and continued at a high rate of speed, reportedly passing vehicles in no-passing zones.

The pursuit continued eastbound toward the La. Highway 6 and Interstate 49 area before the driver pulled into a nearby business. Additional assistance was provided by the Natchitoches Police Department.

Authorities said the driver, identified as 19-year-old Keron Jackson of Natchitoches, exited the vehicle and refused repeated commands before fleeing on foot toward a nearby vacant restaurant. A deputy pursued Jackson, who eventually fell into a ditch where he was taken into custody.

Jackson complained of dizziness and nausea following his arrest, prompting a response from emergency medical personnel. He was evaluated at the scene and released without needing transport.

He was booked into the LaSalle Corrections/Natchitoches Detention Center and charged with aggravated flight from an officer and resisting an officer.

Officials said the female involved in the initial disturbance was interviewed by the Robeline Police Department and declined to pursue charges. She was not injured and did not require medical treatment.

Deputy J. Brown made the arrest with assistance from multiple deputies and investigators.
