A Texas woman is arrested in Bossier Parish, accused of stealing an ambulance from Dallas. Louisiana State Police located the stolen ambulance on Interstate 20, about eight miles into the state and attempt a traffic stop. Trooper Brent Hardy says that’s when 19-year-old Kendall Tyson then kicked up the speed.
“Troopers pursued the ambulance for approximately 13 miles and the pursuit ended up encountering slow traffic,” said Hardy.
The traffic enabled authorities to bring the chase to a stop. Hardy says her troubles didn’t slow down there.
“Troopers noticed an obvious impairment level and they conducted a sobriety test and she was booked into the Bossier maximum jail,” said Hardy.
Hardy says the one tool she probably could have used to cut through the traffic was not used during the pursuit.
“There was reports that she did have the lights on previously, but during the pursuit, she did not have the lights on,” said Hardy.
Tyson is charged with possession of a stolen vehicle, aggravated flight, resisting by false information, misrepresentation during booking, DWI, and driving without a license.
