Nicolas Porche Arrested After Manhunt Following Fatal Crash in West Baton Rouge Parish
Erwinville, LA — 12/08/2015– Lousiana State Police report that at approximately 5:00 am on November 20, 2015, Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop A began investigating a two vehicle fatality crash that occurred at the intersection of LA Hwy 620 and LA Hwy 983 (Section Rd. at Bueche Rd.) in West Baton Rouge Parish. The crash took the life of 53-year-old Michael Holmes of Ventress, LA.

The initial investigation by State Police revealed that the crash occurred as 27-year-old Nicholas Porche was traveling westbound on LA Hwy 620 in a white 2008 GMC Sierra. At the same time, Holmes was traveling southbound on LA Hwy 983 in a red 1998 Ford F-150. As Porche approached the intersection of LA Hwy 620 and LA Hwy 983, he failed to yield at the stop sign and proceeded into the path of Holmes’ vehicle. Holmes was unable to avoid Porche’s vehicle and struck it on the left side. After impact, Porche’s vehicle began to overturn and came to rest on the northwest side of the intersection.

After the crash, Porche fled the scene into a cane field. Troopers, along with Deputies from the West Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office and the Baton Rouge Police Department’s K-9 Officers, searched the area for Porche. The Louisiana State Police Aviation Unit responded to the scene with a helicopter to assist with the search and was able to locate Porche in the cane field approximately ½ mile from the crash scene.

Holmes was not properly restrained and sustained fatal injuries as a result of the crash. He was pronounced deceased at the scene by the West Baton Rouge Parish Coroner’s Office. Porche was properly restrained and received minor injuries in the crash but refused aid. A toxicology sample will be taken from Holmes but impairment is not suspected.

Troopers do suspect impairment on the part of Porche and he was placed under arrest at the scene. A toxicology sample will be taken from Porche for analysis. Porche was transported to the West Baton Rouge Parish Jail where he was booked with 4^th Offense DWI, Vehicular Homicide, Felony Hit and Run, Operating a Vehicle Without Required Interlock Device, and Failure to Yield at a Stop Sign.

Louisiana State Troopers want to inform motorists that impaired driving continues to be a major problem throughout Louisiana. Whether impaired through alcohol, drugs, or a combination of the two, the consequences of driving while impaired remain the same. Also, all occupants of a motor vehicle must be restrained, regardless of seating position. While not all crashes are survivable, statistics show that the chances of surviving a crash rise significantly when properly restrained. Making good choices while in motor vehicles such as never driving while impaired, always ensuring every occupant is properly restrained, and avoiding all distractions can often mean the difference between life and death.

LAKE ARTHUR, LA – A Lake Arthur man was arrested last night for vehicular homicide after the vehicle he was driving crashed, resulting in the death of an unrestrained passenger.

On November 14, 2015, at 12:38 a.m., Louisiana State Police Troop D responded to a single-vehicle crash on Broadmore Road near Trailer Town Road about ½ mile north of Lake Arthur in Jefferson Davis Parish. The initial investigation revealed a 2004 Toyota pickup truck was traveling north on Broadmore Road when the driver, 29-year-old Robert Leleux II of Lake Arthur, lost control of the vehicle. Once he began to lose control, Leleux overcorrected causing the vehicle to flip.

Brandon Whitlow killed by Robert Leleux II in DWI crash in Louisiana 111415

One of the passengers, 26-year-old Brandon J. Whitlow of Lake Arthur, was ejected from the vehicle. Whitlow was not wearing a seat belt and was pronounced dead at the scene by the Jefferson Davis Parish Coroner’s Office. Another passenger in the vehicle received minor injuries.

Leleux received moderate injuries and received treatment at an area hospital. He was then booked into the Jefferson Davis Parish Jail on charges of vehicular homicide, vehicular negligent injuring, DWI, careless operation, and failure to wear a seat belt.

Impairment and excessive speed are suspected factors in the crash. A toxicology sample was obtained from Leleux and will be submitted for analysis. The crash remains under investigation.

Last night, Troop D arrested 8 people in our area for DWI including 6 at a DWI checkpoint in Calcasieu Parish. We will continue to work hard to remove impaired drivers from our roadways but ask individuals to help by doing whatever they can to prevent impaired drivers from getting behind the wheel. Friends don’t let friends drive drunk. We also encourage anyone who observes an impaired driver to dial *LSP (*577) to report the driver to Louisiana State Police or to contact local law enforcement.

Louisiana law requires vehicle occupants to be properly restrained in all seating positions, day and night. Wearing a seat belt on every trip, whether it’s short or long, is the most effective thing motorists can do to protect themselves in the event of a crash. Motorists are encouraged to always make the smart choice and to wear their seat belt.

Troop D has investigated 27 fatal crashes resulting in 29 fatalities this year.

In January 2013, Officer Noah Leotta was hired as a Montgomery County Police Officer Candidate and attended the Montgomery County Police Academy as a member of Session 58. The class graduated in July 2013 and Noah was assigned to the 4^th District for field training. When he completed his training, he remained in the 4^th District as a 4^thDistrict patrol officer.

On the night that he was struck, Officer Leotta was working as a member of the annualHoliday Alcohol Task Force. These officers devote their full time and attention to detecting alcohol-related offenses during the holiday season.

Officer Noah Leotta had a passion for serving the community and was an exemplary officer as evidenced by comments in a recent performance evaluation. His supervisor wrote, “He arrives at work early every day with a smile on his face as though he can’t wait to start the day. His enthusiasm for the job is unwavering and infectious.” His supervisor further explained, “He is humble and selfless and never seeks any recognition for himself. Officer Leotta is always willing to help out fellow officers in any way he can.”

Chief J. Thomas Manger said, “Noah loved his job and demonstrated a level of enthusiasm that drove a work ethic and professionalism that we can all aspire to.  These qualities made him the man and the police officer that he was.”

FROM NBC WASHINGTON:A day after the

A day after the death of a police officer in Maryland who was hit by a suspected drunk driver, calls are increasing for harsher driving-under-the-influence punishments in the state.

Speaking after the death of Officer Noah Leotta, 24, Montgomery County Police Chief J. Thomas Manger spoke furiously.

“The state of Maryland has some of the weakest penalties for drunk drivers, and in fact, as we look ahead to the prosecution of this case, I can tell you that whenever it’s done, there’s little chance of real justice being done,” he said.

Leotta was critically injured the evening of Dec. 3 when a driver suspected of being drunk slammed an SUV into Leotta’s cruiser and then into the officer as he pulled over another driver suspected of being drunk. The driver, Luis Gustavo Reluzco, 47, has not been charged. Results of a blood test to detect substances in his system are pending.

The maximum penalty in Maryland for killing someone while driving drunk is 10 years, but few defendants ever get that sentence, advocates say.

“Generally, when someone [driving drunk] kills someone in Maryland, they’re looking at about 18 months,” said Lisa Spicknall, state director of Mothers Against Drunk Driving. She has helped hundreds of families cope with the loss of a loved one to a drunk driver.

“We all would think that such a person would go to jail for a long time, but number one, the judges are inconsistent. Number two, the prosecutors are inconsistent in terms of seeking serious penalties. And number three, the laws just don’t provide for a long jail sentence,” Spicknall said.

“It’s a traffic offense, it’s not a criminal offense,” Rene Sandler said. She’s a criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor who also was the victim of a drunk driver.

In Virginia and D.C., penalties for fatal drunk driving carry 20 to 30 years in prison. Also, unlike in other states, Maryland does not allow victims or their families to sue a person or establishment that served a drunk driver too much alcohol.

Last year, 121 people were killed in Maryland by drunk drivers.

Short prison sentences for drunk drivers re-traumatize their families, Spicknall said.

“It sets them back to day one, to that day when they were first informed that their loved one was killed,” she said.

The MADD leader said she hopes the tragedy of Leotta’s death can spark change among lawmakers.

“Maybe this is the case that makes the senators and delegates step up and say, ‘We’re done with this and we’re tired of it and we want to see these laws,'” Spicknall said.

Advocates will return to Annapolis next year to urge lawmakers for harsher penalties.

Unrestrained 21 Year Old Passenger Killed in Ascension Parish Crash

Gonzales – Shortly after 9:30 pm on May 22, 2015, Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop A began investigating a single vehicle fatality crash that occurred on US Hwy 61 south of LA Hwy 621 in Ascension Parish. The crash took the life of 21-year-old Dylan T. Martin of Gonzales, LA.

The initial investigation by State Police revealed that the crash occurred as 24-year-old Jason L. Williams of Gonzales was driving a 2005 Suzuki Forenza southbound on US Hwy 61. For unknown reasons, the Suzuki ran off the roadway to the right. After leaving the roadway, the vehicle struck a culvert causing it to roll several times before coming to rest on its roof.

Martin (the front seat passenger) was unrestrained at the time of the crash and was partially ejected from the vehicle. He suffered fatal injuries as a result. Williams was properly restrained at the time of the crash. He was transported from the scene to Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center with minor injuries. Impairment on his part is a possible factor, and a toxicology sample was taken from him and submitted to the Louisiana State Police Crime Lab for analysis. Williams was charged with LRS 32:58 – Careless operation. This crash remains under investigation, and further charges may be pending.

Troopers wish to remind motorists of the importance of seat belt use, especially during a busy Memorial Day holiday. Louisiana State Police is currently participating in the nationwide Click It or Ticket initiative and will be proactively seeking unrestrained drivers and their passengers. Louisiana law requires all occupants to be properly restrained regardless of seating position. While not all crashes are survivable, occupants who are properly restrained are much less likely to be seriously injured or killed in the event of a crash.

When a crazy lady with wheels of fire decides to cause mayhem….here is another story from the Naked City…

LAKEPORT, CALIF. — 12/22/2015 — According to the Lakeport Police, at approximately 7:20 AM on Dec. 21, 2015, Lake County Central Dispatch received an emergency call from the California Highway Patrol Communications Center in Ukiah reporting that they received a call from a Lakeport man who stated that his wife told him she was going to kill herself by running her car into another vehicle. The woman identified as 37-year-old Dana Marie Lindsey was reported to be driving a 1997 gold Volkswagon convertible in the area of Lakeport Blvd and Hwy 29. Lakeport Police Department, California Highway Patrol, and Lake County Sheriff’s Office Units responded to the scene.

At some point, officers received information that Lindsey’s husband had been hanging onto the vehicle and fell or jumped off.

Responding units attempted to stop Lindsey as she traveled southbound on Hwy 29 from Lakeport Blvd., but she evaded them and made two attempts to drive her vehicle into another vehicle traveling north bound, but they were able to avoid a collision.

Lindsey continued to travel southbound and intentionally collided with a 2009 Toyota Corolla, just south of the intersection of Highways 29 & 175 Hopland. A 24-year-old male passenger in the victim vehicle was seriously injured and transported via ambulance to Sutter Lakeside Hospital and is expected to be transferred to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital for further treatment. The 28-year-old female driver of the victim vehicle received minor injuries and was later transported by private party to Sutter Lakeside where she was treated and released.
