Man wanted for murder in Vermont arrested during NOLA police chase | Crime/Police

A police chase that began Monday in the St. Roch area and involved a handful of local law enforcement agencies and the FBI ended with the arrest of two men, including one who was wanted in linked to a murder in Vermont, according to Louisiana State Police.

Danny Daniels, 31, of Pennsylvania, was arrested and booked into the St. Tammany Parish Jail on charges related to federal drug violations and several Vermont arrest warrants, including including first-degree murder, police said. Daniels was also booked on numerous charges related to Monday's chase, police said, including resisting a police officer and fleeing a police officer with aggravated circumstances.

A'Juan Preston, an 18-year-old from New Orleans, was also arrested and booked into Orleans Parish Prison on resisting a police officer and other drug and gun charges, according to state police.

Authorities said the chase ensued as Louisiana State Police troopers and NOLA Troop attempted to stop a 2016 Lincoln MKZ near North Roman Street and Elysian Fields Avenue for multiple traffic violations. Daniels, who police said was driving the Lincoln, refused to stop, instead leading police on a car chase through the city before Daniels and Preston fled on foot.

State police said troopers and agents from the FBI, New Orleans Police Department and New Orleans Harbor Police eventually apprehended Daniels and Preston.

It is unclear where the pursuit ended or what time it took place. Police did not immediately respond to requests for further information.
