Deputies with the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office are seeking a Natchitoches man that reportedly led them on a pursuit on Highway 478, then ditched the vehicle and fled into the woods Saturday morning.
NPSO said Dajohn Maxwell Hymes, 28, is wanted for aggravated flight from an officer, possession of a firearm by a person convicted of a felony, illegal possession of a stolen firearm, driving under suspension, no vehicle license, speeding, and other traffic violations.
Hymes is described as a Black male who is 5′9″ tall, weighing 170 lbs, with black hair and browns eyes. He was last seen wearing dark colored clothes.
According to NPSO, a deputy attempted to stop a Honda passenger car on Highway 478 on Saturday morning around 11 a.m. for speeding over 90 mph, and other traffic offenses. Hymes, the alleged driver of the vehicle, refused to stop and continued to travel at high speed until he ditched the vehicle near the Old River Road exit and fled into the woods.
The vehicle was impounded and deputies recovered a Smith & Wesson .40 caliber semi-automatic handgun with laser sights and an extended magazine with 29 rounds of ammunition. It was also discovered that an object other than a key was used in the ignition and a false temporary tag was on the vehicle.
