Junifer struck one of the officers in the face while trying to get away from officers, Richard said. The officer did not have any “lasting injuries” or “obvious signs” of being struck in the face, Richard said.
The Morgan City police warrants stem from an Aug. 7 incident where a patrolling officer attempted to stop a vehicle after a traffic violation was observed, according to a Morgan City police news release in August. Officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but the unidentified driver refused, subsequently leading police on a chase, the release stated.
The driver ultimately stopped and abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot into the area near Garber Street toward J.B. Maitland Elementary School. As a precaution, the school was temporarily placed on a lockdown status as officers secured and searched the area, the release said.
The suspect was not located, yet officers were able to recover evidence and positively identify the suspect as Junifer, according to the news release. Investigators also recovered illegal narcotics from the vehicle, the release stated.
