Details of the situation were limited and law enforcement have not officially said what happened. But, Louisiana State Police confirmed a suspect was in custody after fleeing from West Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's deputies in a vehicle. The vehicle was stopped in St. Martin Parish, just on the west side of the I-10 Basin Bridge.

It's like 18 or 19, right? Maybe he got to the other end and turned around.

"Started in West Baton Rouge"

Probably started on HWY 1, and ended up going down I-10

Should have driven 100mph and waited for the cops to run out of gas.

Do you mean "40 MILE, HIGH SPEED CHASE" or "40 MILE HIGH, SPEED CHASE?"

I SAW THAT shite.

It was some guy in a minivan with the windows rolled down and about 9 or 10 various city, parish, and state police rolling down I-10. The local yokel cops were all positioned at the on and off ramps of the interstate with their lights on waiting for the caravan to pass them so they could join in the fun.

Nah, that prick had somebody hemmed up on the eastbound side. Seriously, he popped somebody getting onto the bridge on the Henderson side. It goes to 60 right at the foot of the first rise and that fricking cop had the guy stopped right at the top of the rise writing the ticket.

How the hell he was able to clock the guy going 60.56 mph when he crossed the 60 mph sign, get the police cruiser onto I-10, get behind the guy, and get him stopped by the crest of that rise boggles the mind.
