Arrested
A carjacking suspect was apprehended after intentionally crashing into an Alabama State Trooper's patrol vehicle, according to Slidell police. The incident occurred on Sunday, June 25 at around 1:00 p.m. when officers from the Slidell Police Department (SPD) responded to multiple 911 calls reporting a carjacking at Outback Steakhouse on Interstate 10 Service Road in Slidell, Louisiana.
The suspect, identified as Tyrone Pryor, allegedly threatened employees and guests with a knife before fleeing the restaurant. He then forced the driver out of a red 2019 Honda Accord and fled the scene in the stolen vehicle.
Hours later, authorities received information from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) that Pryor had deliberately crashed the stolen car into an Alabama State Trooper's patrol vehicle during a pursuit. Following this crash, he was arrested by law enforcement officials.
Investigators believe that Pryor is from Kingsville, Texas and was passing through Slidell with no known ties to the area. Currently held in Tuscaloosa County Jail in Alabama, he is facing multiple charges related to these incidents.
According to SPD officials, once extradition procedures are completed, Pryor will be transported back to Louisiana where he will be booked into Slidell City Jail for his involvement in the carjacking case.
