SHREVEPORT, LA-    Mini Bike Chase Sends Man to Jail for Multiple Charges

On August 24, just after 2:00 AM, Shreveport Police officers conducted a traffic stop on a man operating a miniature motorcycle at the intersection of Clyde Fant Parkway and Shreveport Barksdale Highway. Upon making contact with police, the man fled, leading officers on a pursuit through the area. The chase involved the suspect weaving off the roadway, cutting through parking lots, and driving the wrong way on Clyde Fant Parkway.

During the pursuit, officers observed that the suspect was armed with a firearm. The chase continued as the suspect crossed into Bossier City and proceeded down Arthur Teague Parkway. Eventually, the man lost control of the vehicle, and with the assistance of Bossier City Police, Shreveport officers were able to take him into custody.
