Deputies located the wanted suspect Patrick Heath Cotton from a Dec. 8 incident in which Cotton fled law enforcement following their discovery of several active warrants for his arrest.
Cotton was spotted driving in a vehicle on 3rd Street near Bogan Street on Wednesday, Dec. 18, and led deputies and APD officers on a pursuit that ended near Masonic Drive and Gilbert Street.
After Cotton’s vehicle became disabled, he attempted to flee on foot but was taken into custody without further incident. Cotton will be booked into the Rapides Parish Detention Center on multiple charges.
Charges and an updated mugshot will be released soon.
Deputies are still on the scene conducting their investigation and are asking the public to use caution driving in the area.
