On September 12, 2017 at approximately 1115 hours, the Biloxi Police Department responded to the area of 850 Bayview for a report of a Desporte’s Seafood truck being stolen. Officers canvassed the area and located the truck in the area of Kensington and Bayview, where it had been abandoned. In the same area an elderly couple was stopped by the same suspect and forced from their car by the use of threats of bodily harm. The suspect drove off in the couple’s car.
Officers located the suspect and attempted to initiate a traffic stop. The suspect continued to flee making his way down several streets in Biloxi before heading north on the I-110. With the assistance of the Harrison County Sheriff’s Department and the D’Iberville Police Departments the suspect finally stopped the vehicle in the area of Lamey Bridge and Big Ridge in D’Iberville. The suspect fled on foot from the car but was apprehended a short distance later on Highland.
