Alabama Burglary Suspect Arrested After Chase, Manhunt
December 21, 2017
The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office joined several agencies in captured a man the Escambia County (AL) Sheriff’s Office chased into Okaloosa County Tuesday night.
Louis Allen Scott crashed his car in Okaloosa County and then fled before being taken into custody with the help of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission and a dog team from the Okaloosa Correctional Institution.
Escambia County (AL) Chief Deputy Mike Lambert said Scott was wanted in his county on multiple felony warrants related to several burglaries. When deputies spotted his vehicle near Wing, AL, in the eastern portion of the county, Scott fled and was chased into Covington County and eventually into Okaloosa County. Lambert said his deputies broke off the chase and followed at a safe distance once they entered Florida, calling for assistance from Okaloosa County.
Scott eventually crashed his vehicle on Mattie Sherman Road and fled on foot before being taken into custody. He is facing charges of possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription in Okaloosa County and awaiting extradition back to Alabama.
Lambert said a second suspect in the burglaries, Shane Bonifay, is already in the Escambia County (AL) Detention Center in Brewton on related charges.

Should’ve ran to Esc. Fl.
Home of the no pursuit policy.
Kinda judgmental?
Suspect in burglaries, already has an open warrant, led police on a chase through three counties in two separate states…
And tattooed up the neck to boot.
Of all of those, exactly which one would lead us to think “Oh, this guy is normal.”
All of that stuff listed in the story and the guy that notices the *jailhouse tats* is the one being called judgmental…
““There is something about those wearers of neck tattoos.” Kinda judgmental.”
Not judgmental. Just Observational.
Chris, that is judgmental. Intelligent people can use judgement to discern good from bad.
I understand everyone had there comments and opinions however he is a Father, and drugs really took over him. Please be careful.what you say because this could of been someone in your Family.

Great teamwork between agencies!
There is something about those wearers of neck tattoos.
Incredible and dedicated group of men. One can run, hide and run some more. Then go to jail tired!
I fought the law and the law won !!!
