BATON ROUGE - Police arrested a man accused of drag racing who fled from law enforcement in a high-speed chase Feb. 3.

According to the Baton Rouge Police Department, officers were called to the intersection of South Choctaw and North Flannery Drives on reports of a "street takeover" by street car gang "2ActiveBR" shortly before midnight.

One of the cars involved, an orange Dodge Charger, was doing repeated donuts in the intersection while people stood to the side and watched. 

An officer in the BRPD helicopter followed the Charger away from the intersection as it traveled at an "extremely high rate of speed." Another officer on the ground in a police unit saw the Charger drive by at over 100 mph through a red light and against oncoming traffic. 

The BRPD helicopter followed the Charger and watched it leave the roadway multiple times and hit a sign that belonged to the city of Zachary. The driver ultimately stopped at the intersection of Mt. Pleasant-Zachary Road and Pecan Hill Drive and was arrested. 

The driver was identified as Kelvin Brown. Brown, 23, was arrested for aggravated flight from an officer, obstruction of justice, criminal damage to property, hit and run, and drag racing.

ST. AMANT - Deputies arrested a man who allegedly fled from a shooting scene with his infant child Monday morning. 

According to the Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to a reported shooting near John Leblanc Boulevard and Airline Highway shortly after midnight Monday morning.

Justin Chriss woke up to Tyron Jones knocking on his door.

"When I sat up in bed I looked out my window and could see a shadow. That's when it kicked in, I knew something wasn't right, let me go into protection mode and see what's going on. That's when I heard him beating on the door and he was screaming, 'Let me in, they're trying to kill me!'"

Police arrested Jones at the property blocks away from his home around 8 a.m. The child was returned to family unharmed after being taken to a hospital for observation. The victim is also expected to survive his injuries. 

"When you get that call at 12:30 in the morning regarding a shooting involving an infant it is really scary. For several hours, we could not locate that child or the suspect, so we were fortunate when we got that phone call from a resident that saw this guy and he matched our description. We knew that baby was going to be okay, it was a huge relief," Ascension Parish Public Information Officer, Donovan Jackson, said.

Jones was arrested and booked for attempted second-degree murder, child endangerment, child desertion, illegal use of weapons, and aggravated criminal damage to property. Deputies say more charges may be pending.
