REPORT FROM ARRESTING DEPUTY ON STATEMENT OF CHARGES:
On March 26, 2017, at approximately 2112 hours, I responded to a vehicle crash located at 4661 Creekview Lane. The crash was reported as a vehicle versus a tree. Upon arrival, I observed gold Hyundai bearing the tag: GGEJ53 that had been crashed into a tree. I then conducted the crash investigation and located the driver of the vehicle, which was located at 2537 Creekview Circle, which is not his residence. The driver, Alexander Lewis Chapman (D.O.B 10-08-1988), identified by his Florida Driver’s License, stated he was taking out for a ride. Alexander advised his mirror was hanging from his front windshield and caused him to misjudge the turn causing him to hit the tree. After the crash investigation was complete, I informed Alexander the investigation for the crash was complete and notified him that I am now starting an investigation for DUI. I then asked Alexander, the driver of the gold Hyundai, to walk over to the front of my patrol vehicle and he complied. Once at my patrol vehicle Alexander was read his Miranda warnings off my department issued card. Alexander stated that he understood each of his rights and willingly agreed to talk to me. During conversation with Alexander, I observed that he had slurred speech, and droopy eyes.

I then asked if Alexander, if he was willing to perform field sobriety exercises. Alexander stated that he was willing to. Each exercise was both demonstrated and explained before the defendant was asked to perform the exercise. Alexander verbally replied that he understood each exercise before he started. Before the exercises started, I asked Alexander, do you have any physical limitations that would hinder your performance on the field sobriety exercises? He stated that he has glasses but that he was currently wearing contacts. He also advised that he would do the exercises barefoot, due to it being more comfortable. I asked the defendant, do you have any problems with your arms, legs, or balance? The defendant stated, No. The field sobriety exercises were done on a flat and level surface, free from debris, and my emergency lights and siren turned off. The first exercise was the (HGN) Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus. During the exercise I observed the following: (No glasses) Pupils were equal in size Checked for equal tracking, both eyes tracked equally -Lack of smooth pursuit in both the Left and Right eyes -Onset Nystagmus prior to 45 degrees in both eyes -Checked Vertical Gaze Nystagmus -Eyes were glassy, watery. -Swayed while standing still -Unable to follow instructions: did not maintain contact with tip of pen. The second exercise was the (WAT) Walk and Turn. During the exercise I observed the following: -failed to count steps -Failed to stay on line while walking -failed to look down while he walked -stopped during exercise to verify if he was doing it correct -Can`t keep balance -Missed several heel to toe steps -Stepped off the line -Used arms to balance, raised arms over six inches The third exercise was the (OLS) One Leg Stand. (Used his right leg for the exercise) During the exercise I observed the following: -Swayed while balancing -Used arms to balance, raised arms more than six inches -Unable to follow instructions. Dropped foot multiple times -Even after the defendant put he foot down, I informed he to do the above listed instructions and he still failed to perform the divided attention tasks -Placed arms behind back -counted (16) twice The fourth exercise was the Finger to Nose (FTN). (R,L,L,R,L) During the exercise I observed the following: -Failed to return arms to the side (on the first attempt) -movements were very slow -Failed to return arms to the side -Tip of Index finger did not touch tip of the nose on ALL attempts -Touched the left side of nose with right hand The fifth exercise was the Rhomberg Alphabet: (B through X) During the exercise I observed the following: -orbital sway -Skipped letters between R-X.

After the exercises were completed, I determined the defendant`s normal faculties required to operate a motor vehicle were impaired beyond the legal limit by either alcohol and or drugs. Therefore, the defendant was arrested for Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol and or Drugs, F.S.S. 316.193. Due to Alexander not having in a proper child restraint and facing the correct way, he did not provide with the care, supervision, and services necessary to maintain the child’s physical and mental health. Alexander also was seen leaving in the car at the scene of the traffic accident.
Due to the facts and circumstances, Alexander is in violation of F.S.S 827.03 (2d) – Neglect child without great bodily harm.
Alexander was seen by an off-duty fireman, leaving the scene that had more than $50 damage, due to the airbag deployment and the front end damage, which is in violation of 316.061 (1)- Hit and run- leave the scene of a crash involving damage to property greater than $50. Alexander was placed in handcuffs that were checked for proper fit and double locked.

Daniel Charles of Lake Charles Arrested for Fourth Offense DWI

VINTON, LA—Troopers arrested a Lake Charles man for fourth offense DWI this morning after he drove a vehicle into a ditch.

Darrel Carter of Lake Charles 4th DWI offense Louisiana State Police crashed into ditch 030717

On March 7, 2017, shortly after 5:00 a.m., Louisiana State Police Troop D responded to a report of a vehicle in a ditch near Louisiana Highway 109 just south of I-10 west of Vinton. A Trooper determined the driver, 45-year-old Darrel Carter of Lake Charles, drove into the ditch and was impaired. Carter later refused to provide a toxicology sample. The Trooper requested and obtained a “no refusal” warrant from a judge and subsequently obtained a toxicology sample from Carter.

Carter, who has been previously arrested on numerous occasions for DWI, was charged with careless operation of a motor vehicle and DWI fourth offense (the maximum he can be charged with under Louisiana law). Carter was booked into the Calcasieu Correctional Center.

The Louisiana State Police has a process in place, in cooperation with prosecutors and judges, to request a search warrant in conjunction with a DWI arrest. If an arrested individual refuses to provide a toxicology sample, the circumstances of the arrest may be forwarded to a judge for review. If the judge determines probable cause exists, a “no refusal” warrant is issued by the judge. A qualified medical professional then obtains a toxicology sample without the consent of the arrested individual.

In 2015, 64 percent of motorists who died in crashes investigated by Troop D were killed by an impaired driver.

In 2015, 64 percent of motorists who died in crashes investigated by Troop D were killed by an impaired driver. To report impaired drivers, motorists are encouraged to dial *LSP (*577) from their cellular phone to reach the nearest Louisiana State Police troop location or to contact local law enforcement.

Byron Acosta hit by DWI driver as he walked near a highway.

Terrebonne Parish, LA – One man is dead and another has been charged with vehicular homicide after a vehicle struck a pedestrian in Terrebonne Parish last night.

On Monday, April 17, 2017, shortly before 9 p.m., Louisiana State Police Troop C responded to a crash involving a vehicle and a pedestrian on Louisiana Highway 24 near Clendenning Road. The preliminary investigation revealed a 2007 Dodge Caliber driven by 62-year-old Albert Williams Jr. of Montegut was traveling south on LA 24 and drove onto the southbound shoulder, striking a pedestrian. The pedestrian, 43-year-old Byron Acosta of Houma, was struck by the vehicle and suffered fatal injuries. The Terrebonne Parish Coroner’s Office arrived on scene and pronounced Acosta deceased.

Impairment on the part of Williams is suspected to be a factor in this crash. A breath test indicated Williams was over the legal limit for alcohol. Williams was wearing a seat belt and was not injured. Williams was charged with vehicular homicide as well as improper lane usage and was booked into the Terrebonne Parish Correctional Center. The crash remains under investigation.

Motorists must be reminded that alcohol has many effects on the body. Alcohol can impair visual ability, alter the sense of time and space, impair fine motor skills needed to operate a motor vehicle, and decrease reaction times. Just one drink may cause these effects.
Byron C. Acosta, 43, a native and resident of Houma, passed away on Monday, April 17, 2017. Visitation will be from 9:00 am until 11:00 am on Monday, April 24, 2017, at Holy Rosary Catholic Church, Houma, LA. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:00 am with burial to follow in the church cemetery. He is survived by his brothers, Russell Acosta, Lacy Acosta (Patrina), Thomas Acosta, Perry Acosta, Travis Acosta and sisters, Phyllis Poiencot (Guy) and Crystal Landry (Kyle). Also survived by 4 nieces and 5 nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Raymond Sr. and Hazel Blanchard Acosta; grandparents, Perquel and Alma Acosta, Preston and Hilda Blanchard and brother, Raymond Acosta, Jr. Falgout Funeral Homes is in charge of arrangements.
