A 37-year-old man is facing multiple charges after allegedly stabbing his partner and then leading police on a high-speed chase through Ascension Parish, Louisiana. Carmille Anderson is accused of stabbing a woman in the neck at a residence in Prairieville before fleeing in a silver Chevy Equinox. Officers spotted the vehicle and attempted to pull Anderson over, but he refused to stop, crashing into parked cars and a police car during the pursuit on Burnside Avenue. The chase ended when Anderson stopped and stabbed himself multiple times. He is currently hospitalized and will face charges once released.
Why it matters
This incident highlights the dangers of domestic violence and the risks posed to the public when suspects flee from law enforcement. The high-speed chase through a populated area could have resulted in serious injuries or fatalities to bystanders. It also raises questions about mental health resources and support for individuals involved in domestic disputes.
The details
According to authorities, deputies responded to a residence on Highway 42 in Prairieville around 3 p.m. on March 18th after receiving a report of a stabbing. At the scene, they found a woman suffering from an apparent stab wound to the neck. Police then issued a BOLO (be on the lookout) for the suspect, Carmille Anderson, and his silver Chevy Equinox. Around 4:30 p.m., a Gonzales Police officer spotted the vehicle and attempted to pull Anderson over, but he refused to stop. Anderson then led multiple officers on a pursuit on Burnside Avenue, crashing into parked vehicles and a police car during the chase. The pursuit ended when Anderson stopped the vehicle and stabbed himself multiple times. He is currently hospitalized and will face charges once released.
