CADDO PARISH, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – A Blanchard man is facing numerous charges after allegedly hitting an occupied Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office K-9 unit and then running from deputies.
CPSO says that around 2:45 a.m. Friday, a 1996 Ford Ranger collided with a marked CPSO K-9 unit. The unit had its emergency lights on while blocking LA 173 as deputies investigated a separate accident involving a car and a train.
The driver of the Ford Ranger then drove away from the scene and lead deputies on a short chase. Caddo Fire District 1 was contacted and asked to block nearby roads to try to protect first responders who were on the scene of a train accident. The driver finally stopped after encountering a fire engine blocking the highway.
59-year-old David Hanus was arrested and charged with ignoring traffic controls, hit and run, flight from an officer, and possession of drug paraphernalia. He is also being investigated for DUI.
