On Feb. 3, at approximately 5:02 a.m., St. Charles Parish deputies responded to a call of a suspicious vehicle parked behind the Pilot Gas Station, 10405 Airline Highway in St. Rose, occupied by one subject, possible shooting up heroin.
When the officer arrived on scene, the suspect attempted to drive away in his vehicle, crashing into a ditch. The suspect was apprehended and detained in handcuffs and secured in the rear of a deputy’s Patrol S.U.V. While the deputy was investigating the scene of the crash just a few minutes after securing the suspect in the patrol vehicle, he observed his patrol vehicle driving away.
