DESOTO PARISH, La. (KTAL/KMSS) — The DeSoto Parish Sheriff’s Office has released footage of a driver being arrested after fleeing from deputies.
Tracarlos Audra McNeil, a 49-year-old from Houston, was arrested early on Monday, December 8, on Interstate 49. According to the sheriff’s office, a patrol sergeant responding to a crash involving an overturned 18-wheeler noticed McNeil’s vehicle parked on the side of the median. This prompted the deputy to request backup to check on the driver.
The footage shows the responding deputy approaching the vehicle, where he found McNeil in the driver’s seat, completely naked. The situation escalated when McNeil fled in his vehicle, but deputies managed to stop him shortly afterward. A K-9 officer was used to remove him from the car.
McNeil was taken into custody and transported to a nearby hospital for evaluation. He was arrested for aggravated flight from an officer and resisting an officer. No word on whether he was under the influence or not.
