Shreveport Police Arrest Woman for Officer Involved Hit-and-Run

Shreveport Police located and arrested a suspect following a hit-and-run investigation involving a Police Officer.

SPD responded to Monrovia Street in reference to a hit-and-run. The incident involved a red car hitting a dumpster that had been placed in the roadway for construction at a residence.

Officers discovered the car had fled the scene. Through investigative efforts, including tracking fluids leaking from the vehicle, officers were led to Huron Street, where the vehicle was located.

Officers made contact with the driver,  later identified as Alicia Lewis, who was found sitting in the car with the keys in the ignition and the airbags deployed. The car had front-end damage consistent with the collision involving the dumpster.

During the investigation, Lewis repeatedly gave SPD with a fake name in an attempt to avoid identification. Officers confirmed her true identity and that she had permission from the registered owner to operate the vehicle.

While being processed at the Shreveport City Jail, Lewis was found to be in possession of suspected crystal meth and a glass pipe.

It was also revealed that Lewis was wanted in connection with a recent incident at a local Walmart, where she allegedly assaulted an officer by slamming a car door on them before fleeing the scene.

Alicia Lewis has been charged with the following:

· Hit and Run

· Resisting an Officer (Providing False Information)

· Possession of a Schedule II Controlled Substance

· Introduction of Contraband into a Penal Institution

This incident remains under investigation.
