On August 31, 2025, a sergeant on patrol was conducting a check of the Siracusa area that has had recent thefts and burglaries when he observed a pickup truck with a male subject parked near the tree line. The sergeant made contact with the subject, who suddenly fled in the truck.
The suspect eventually turned west onto Highway 182 and proceeded at a high rate of speed into Morgan City. At one point, the truck failed to stop at an intersection and attempted a 90-degree turn. While making the turn, the suspect struck a Morgan City Police Department unit.
Through the investigation, it was discovered that the juvenile male was the same suspect who had recently led Berwick Police Department Officers on a pursuit. Furthermore, it was learned that the vehicle being driven by the suspect was also a stolen vehicle.
The juvenile male was taken into custody and is currently being held pending juvenile court proceedings.
Sheriff Gary Driskell would like to thank the Morgan City Police Department, Berwick Police Department, and the Vermillion Sheriff's Office for their assistance in this incident and investigation. The crash investigation has been turned over to the Louisiana State Police.
