A 20-mile high-speed pursuit from Abbeville into Lafayette Parish ended with the arrest of Malcolm Ardoin, wanted on an active warrant. He now faces multiple felony charges.
The individual responsible for the damage has warrants out for his arrest in New Iberia and had shoplifted from the Walmart in Abbeville promoting the police to follow him. After police turned on their lights he sped off on what turned into a high-speed chase, "we have been told he hit the building at 90-100 mph."
In the early hours of Saturday morning, the West Monroe Police Department along with the Ouachita Parish Sheriff's Office converged around a West Monroe hotel parking lot. It was there they arrested a suspect who took them on a high-speed chase.
