On Wednesday (September 10, 2025), Slidell Police Officers were alerted to a stolen vehicle out of Baton Rouge that was actively pinging near Home Depot on Northshore Boulevard. The car was found unoccupied in the parking lot, so officers waited.
Moments later, 49-year-old David Callahan of Petal, Mississippi, casually walked back to the stolen car . . . only to be met by officers who immediately took him into custody.
As it turned out, Callahan had just been released from jail in Baton Rouge earlier that morning after being extradited from Mississippi for several warrants. With no ride home to Mississippi, he went with what he thought was the next best option: steal a car.
Callahan showed up at a used car lot claiming to have $5,600 in cash and said he was ready to buy. He picked out a 2009 Honda Accord and left on a test drive with an employee. But before they even got on the road, they needed to stop for gas. When the employee went to pump the fuel, Callahan hit the gas and took off
