On February 13, a Urania Police Officer observed a violation on a white Buick car travelling south on US Hwy 165, according to Urania Chief of Police Floyd Peavy. The officer attempted to stop the car, but it refused to stop travelling at approximately 90 mph.

A Tullos Police Officer clocked the vehicle at 108 mph as it passed by while still travelling south toward Grant Parish. The pursuit came into the Georgetown city limits, and as a Georgetown Police Unit pulled out, the car made a left turn and proceeded back north on US Hwy 165 toward Tullos.

With Urania, Tullos and Georgetown units now in pursuit and coming back into Tullos, the car attempted to hit the front of the Georgetown PD unit. The Georgetown unit was able to swerve to the left but was forced into the south bound lane. The white Buick car went into the median and attempted to correct itself back onto the roadway but struck a speed limit sign making it unable to proceed forward.

The driver of the white Buick, identified as Secel Edwards II, 39, of Crowley, was taken into custody. While Edwards was being arrested, he con-tinually said, without being asked, that officers needed to check the trunk of the car.

A search of the vehicle revealed 260 grams of suspected methamphetamine, 550 oxycodone pills, 22 Adderall pills, 185 grams of marijuana, sandwich bags of suspected marijuana edibles, 885 grams of suspected ecstasy pills, mushrooms, 895 grams of suspected synthetic cannabinoids, 63 and 15 partial Alprazolam pills and 138 capsules of Pregabalin pills along with items of drug paraphernalia. LaSalle Parish Sheriff’s Office detectives responded and assisted in collection of evidence.

Edwards was transported to the La-Salle Parish Jail and booked on charges of three counts of possession of CDS II with intent to distribute, possession of CDS IV with intent to distribute, possession of CDS V, four counts of possession of CDS I with intent to distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving under suspension, window tint, aggravated flight from an officer and aggravated assault of an officer. His bond has been set at $435,000.
