An Arcadia man was arrested Thursday evening after the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office investigated a reported domestic assault and a subsequent wild chase.
Devin Tyshun Holland, 19, was arrested for domestic abuse battery with child endangerment after the investigation.
Deputies located Holland and some of the parties involved on Hull Avenue just off West California Ave. Other deputies responded to the reported scene of the incident at a residence on La. Highway 544 and talked to the reported victim.
Deputies were told Holland stopped by his ex-girlfriend’s residence and discovered another man there and got upset. Holland physically took his daughter from the ex-girlfriend by pulling her left arm and grabbed the victim by the throat, stating he was leaving. He made statements about not wanting to hit her.
Holland left with his daughter and was encountered on Walnut Creek Road by another individual who pulled in front of Holland and stopped suddenly. Holland was unable to stop and struck the man’s car. Holland then continued and eventually reached Ruston on I-20 while being followed by the man.
Holland reportedly reached speeds over 90 miles an hour and eventually stopped on Hull Ave. with the other parties behind him. Holland was arrested and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center. His bail amount was not available.
