A high-speed pursuit involving deputies with the DeSoto Parish Sheriff’s Office ended Thursday with the arrest of a Texas man following a chase that began on Interstate 49 and concluded in a wooded area of DeSoto Parish.

According to authorities, the incident began when a deputy observed a dark gray Chrysler 300 traveling northbound on Interstate 49 near the Asseff Road exit at speeds exceeding 90 miles per hour. When the deputy attempted to conduct a traffic stop, the driver accelerated, with speeds quickly surpassing 100 mph.

During the pursuit, the driver exited at the Relay Station exit, drove up the exit embankment, and reentered the interstate heading northbound. The chase continued until the suspect exited at Stonewall-Frierson Road, traveled east, and then turned onto Red Strong Road.

Authorities say the vehicle eventually reached the end of the roadway, where the driver turned onto an oilfield pad, drove up an embankment, and abandoned the vehicle before fleeing on foot into a wooded area. Deputies pursued the suspect on foot until he surrendered at the scene and was taken into custody without further incident.

After the suspect fled the vehicle, deputies discovered a modified stolen firearm along with several rounds of ammunition inside the car.

The suspect was identified as Trievion Deshaz Adams, 20, of Fort Worth. He was transported to the DeSoto Detention Center and booked on multiple charges, including possession of a stolen firearm, aggravated flight from an officer, resisting an officer by flight, and speeding.

Authorities say the investigation remains ongoing. As with all criminal cases, the suspect is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
