St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office Reports “Fentanyl, Foot Races & Bad Decisions" Incident

Here's how the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office reported a recent incident on their Facebook page.

Michael Daigrepont thought he could outrun the law (𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙘𝙪𝙩𝙚☠️) with a pocket full of syringes, a handful of fentanyl, and a whole lot of bad life choices.

On June 10, this 47 year old Lacombe man decided the best move was to flee from our STPSO Proactive Enforcement Unit🚔 when they tried to stop him near the Lacombe traffic circle. Lights? Sirens? Legal obligations? Nah…he punched it.

The pursuit ended with Daigrepont driving like a fool through a residential neighborhood, blowing past stop signs, plowing through a ditch, and eventually bailing out on foot. Because nothing says “𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙤𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙩” like launching hypodermic needles and fentanyl tablets out of your pockets as you sprint into the woods into a knee deep bayou.

Spoiler alert: We brought him down, despite the mud, the fight, and the chaos.

He’s now cooling off at Club St. Tammany, booked on:

• 🔹 Possession of fentanyl
• 🔹 Possession of drug paraphernalia
• 🔹 Aggravated flight from an officer
• 🔹 Obstruction of justice
• 🔹 Resisting arrest
• 🔹 Driving like Grand Theft Auto is a documentary.

Next time, maybe just pull over. Or don’t…gives us a workout and we sometimes need the cardio.
