The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office (TPSO), in partnership with the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office (LPSO) has arrested a wanted suspect following a high-speed pursuit through two parishes.
Donza Ashton, age 31, has been booked into the Tangipahoa Parish Jail on ten charges including Home Invasion, Resisting By Flight-Aggravated Flight, and Battery on a Police Officer. He was also booked as a fugitive on two outstanding warrants from other agencies and has pending drug-related charges in Livingston Parish connected to this case.
On the Tuesday (November 18, 2025) afternoon, a TPSO deputy patrolling the area of Wardline Road and Rufus Bankston in the Baptist area spotted Ashton and recognized him as someone wanted for multiple outstanding felony warrants. When the deputy attempted to conduct a traffic stop, Ashton sped up along Audrey Lane before taking the pursuit onto Highway 190 where he exceeded 100 miles an hour.
Ashton eventually entered Livingston Parish and bailed out of the car along Wagner Road in Albany where he was taken into custody with the assistance of LPSO. During the arrest, multiple drugs were discovered including marijuana, synthetic cannabinoids, crack cocaine and fentanyl as well as distribution supplies.
TPSO wants to thank LPSO for its partnership in making this arrest quickly and safely.
