A uniformed patrol officer observed a northbound vehicle commit a traffic violation and attempted to initiate a violator stop. The vehicle engaged in a high-speed pursuit and fled on La. 308 into Ascension Parish.
At some point, the deputy was able to terminate the pursuit, and both suspects were detained. It was determined that Carcisse was the driver of the suspect vehicle.

On Monday afternoon, Carcisse and Kelly were returned to Assumption Parish and booked into the detention facility on charges of pending bond hearings.
