VILLE PLATTE — A Baton Rouge woman accused of several crimes, including attempted murder, was arrested in Evangeline Parish earlier this week after she allegedly led deputies on a high-speed chase. 

On Tuesday, deputies tried to pull 27-year-old Akeiriyon Mitchell over on I-49, but she led them on a pursuit and tried to run two EPSO units off the road and nearly struck several other vehicles as she exited the interstate and drove toward Ville Platte. 

Eventually, she came to a stop along La. 29 and was arrested. 

She was booked on resisting an officer, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, stop sign and yield violations, maximum speed limit, aggravated assault with a vehicle against a police officer and aggravated flight from an officer. She is being held without bond. 

A hold was placed on her for the Baton Rouge Police Department, where she faces several charges dating back to 2020, including attempted murder, simple burglary, aggravated assault, aggravated criminal damage to property, aggravated flight from an officer, illegal use of a gun, crime of violence and aggravated assault with a firearm.
