Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office patrol deputies arrested a Hineston-area man Wednesday evening following a lengthy high-speed pursuit that ended with a vehicle fire and foot chase.

According to the Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded at approximately 5:45 p.m. to a reported disturbance on Harper Road in the Hineston area. Upon arrival, the suspect, later identified as Robert Dale West, 35, fled the scene in a brown Chevrolet Suburban, prompting a pursuit.

During the chase, deputies reported speeds exceeding 90 miles per hour at times. The pursuit came to an end in the Sieper community after spike strips were deployed by the Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office with assistance from Louisiana State Police. After striking the spike strips, the vehicle caught fire.

West then fled the scene on foot but was taken into custody following a brief foot pursuit. Authorities reported the arrest was made without further incident.

West was found to be in possession of a stolen firearm and was transported to the Rapides Parish Detention Center. He is expected to be booked on multiple charges, including aggravated flight from an officer, possession of a stolen firearm, and an active extraditable warrant out of Texas.

No injuries were reported during the incident. Officials stated the investigation is ongoing and that additional information, including a complete list of charges and a suspect mugshot, will be released as it becomes available.
