Shreveport, LA – Two people were arrested early Friday morning after a brief vehicle pursuit in Shreveport, according to the Louisiana State Police. The chase ended without injury after a state trooper attempted to stop a black Mazda SUV for traffic violations around 2:54 a.m. on January 9, 2026.
According to Troop G, the driver and passenger allegedly switched positions inside the vehicle before fleeing the initial stop. The pursuit lasted roughly four minutes before officers brought the vehicle to a stop on Clyde Fant Parkway, just north of Stoner Avenue. Both suspects were taken into custody without incident.
Police identified the suspects as 24-year-old Tremya Bennett and 30-year-old Tyrell Hemingway. Bennett was charged with aggravated flight from an officer, driving while intoxicated, and multiple narcotics-related offenses. Hemingway was also charged with driving while intoxicated, possession of controlled substances, and other traffic violations. Both were booked into the Caddo Correctional Center.
No injuries or property damage were reported. Louisiana State Police reminded drivers that impaired driving continues to be a leading cause of serious crashes and urged the public to report reckless or intoxicated drivers by calling *LSP (*577).
