A man who led Harrison County deputies on a multi-state chase that shutdown Interstate 20 early Monday is behind bars.
Texas deputies received a call around 11:55 p.m. Sunday of reports of Caddo Parish deputies chasing Wesley Pearson, 35, of Shreveport, in a stolen vehicle on I-20 when he crossed into Texas.
Harrison County deputies and Texas troopers responded. Texas troopers deployed spikes on the interstate, which brought the vehicle to a stop near exit 603.
Deputies said Pearson refused to comply with commands, which led into a standoff that shutdown the interstate briefly. A distraction device was used and Pearson was arrested.
Pearson was transported to the Harrison County Jail and charged with unauthorized use of motor vehicle, evading arrest with a vehicle, failure to identify fugitive from justice, resisting arrest. Pearson also had an active aggravated robbery warrant in Minden.
