PORT ALLEN — West Baton Rouge Parish deputies are searching for a man who, on Monday, ran out of court when a judge told him he would be arrested on additional charges. 

Jasen Webb, who had previously been arrested on various drug charges, had been released from federal custody last month, a West Baton Rouge Parish spokesperson told WBRZ. The sheriff's office had a detainer on him and Webb appeared in court as a free man on Monday. 

He was instructed by a judge that he had multiple active warrants and that he would be re-arrested. After being told this, Webb ran out the front door, at which point deputies drew their tasers but didn't fire.

Webb is still at large, deputies added.
