Yesterday (April 11, 2017) evening St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s deputies on Hwy. 59 in Mandeville attempted to stop a vehicle which had a stolen license plate. The driver, Curtis Savoie (37) of Loranger was wanted out of Tangipahoa Parish for domestic violence by strangulation. Savoie fled, leading deputies on a chase through Mandeville where he attempted to crash head-on with several police vehicles throughout the chase.
Several law enforcement agencies assisted in the pursuit, which resulted in Savoie crashing the Honda Civic he was driving and him fleeing into a wooded area. He was later tracked and apprehended in the woods by K-9 Lex.. Savoie's passenger, Nancy Barnes (33) of Tickfaw, was taken into custody.

It was learned that Savoie fled due to the fact that he had the outstanding warrant, two stolen firearms, methamphetamine, and marijuana inside of the vehicle. Both Savoie and Barnes were booked into the St. Tammany Parish Jail on several charges. During the booking process, deputies located additional methamphetamine, which was hidden inside of Barnes’ bra.
