Juvenile arrested, another sought in car theft, police chase
A local juvenile has been arrested, and another is currently wanted, following the theft of a car from a parking lot and a subsequent police chase in Jennings. According to the Jennings Police Department, the incident began on Monday when Walmart employees reported two juveniles running through the aisles with Nerf guns, with one dart hitting a customer. The suspects fled before officers arrived, and one of their mothers informed police her son had skipped school and she didn't know his whereabouts after he was kicked out of the store. About two hours later, a stolen vehicle report came from the Walmart parking lot, and the same juveniles were identified as suspects. The vehicle was later spotted near Fire Station 2 on La. 26. Officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but the suspects fled, leading Jennings police and Jeff Davis sheriff's deputies on a chase toward Lake Arthur, where the vehicle was lost from sight. Early Tuesday morning, one of the suspects' mothers called police, stating she was on the phone with her son, who was at Marcus Cain Park in Jennings. Officers responded and located the juvenile and the stolen car. The boy was arrested, returned to his mother, and issued citations for theft of a motor vehicle and being an unruly and ungovernable juvenile. The other juvenile has not yet been apprehended, and officers are continuing their investigation, according to the Jennings Police Department.
