Tre’veon Jackson, 24, was charged Oct. 7 with carjacking resulting in serious bodily injury, according to an announcement Friday from U.S. Attorney Zachary A. Keller. Authorities said Jackson escaped Sept. 14, assaulted a man outside a Bossier City hotel and stole his vehicle before leading officers on a pursuit exceeding 110 mph. Jackson allegedly crashed the vehicle and fled on foot, prompting a multi-agency manhunt. He was arrested several days later in Marshall, Texas, and remains in federal custody.
