On Saturday, (2/1/25), Shreveport Police officers successfully caught two people following two separate high-speed chases through the city. Both suspects drove recklessly and tried to escape law enforcement, putting people at risk.

Hollywood Avenue Pursuit

At 11:24 PM, officers attempted to stop a Chrysler 300 near Hollywood Avenue and Jewella Avenue due to a switched Louisiana temporary tag. The driver refused to stop, driving over 80 MPH on Hearne Avenue, where the speed limit is 40 MPH. The suspect, later identified as Caterry Winbush, ran a red light at Hearne Avenue and Midway Avenue, drove northbound in the southbound lane, and continued west on Fulton Street, reaching speeds of over 70 MPH in a 25 MPH zone. Winbush also ran multiple stop signs before losing control and crashing into a wooden fence.

After the crash, Winbush fled on foot, jumping over a fence. Officers ran after him and had to use a taser to stop him from fighting. Winbush surrendered and was arrested without further incident.

Youree Drive Pursuit

At 1:17 AM, the Shreveport Police Department’s DWI Task Force, in conjunction with the SPD Traffic Enforcement Unit, attempted a traffic stop in the 6500 block of Youree Drive. Officers saw a white BMW run a solid red light at the intersection of Youree Drive and Gator Drive while driving 96 MPH in a 40 MPH zone.

Officers saw the suspect driving on the wrong side of the road before stopping at Southfield Road and East Kings Highway. When told to exit the car, the driver, later identified as Zachary Boult, fled at high speed, running another red light and recklessly weaving through neighborhoods, running multiple stop signs.

Boult continued running from police, nearly sideswiping a gray pickup truck on Youree Drive before turning onto Pierremont Road. He struck multiple curbs and veered off the road several times before his front driver-side tire was disabled after hitting another curb. The pursuit ended at Fairfield Avenue and Ockley Drive, where Boult exited the vehicle and attempted to run off. Officers quickly arrested him without further incident.

A message from SPD:

"Fleeing from law enforcement is an extremely dangerous act that not only endangers the suspect but also officers and innocent civilians. The Shreveport Police Department remains steadfast in its commitment to ensuring public safety and holding reckless individuals accountable.

We commend the officers involved for their swift and professional response in safely bringing these individuals into custody. The SPD will continue to enforce the law to keep our streets safe."
