Louisiana state troopers have continued to investigate a fatal crash that occurred on April 27 when the driver refused to stop for a traffic violation and fled from the Bogalusa Police Department. The passenger, 16-year-old Destiny M. Matran, was killed in the crash, and the driver, 19-year-old Daniel Allen Teoulet of Bogalusa, was seriously injured. The crash occurred on West 9th Street near the intersection of Avenue G in Bogalusa.
The investigation revealed that Teoulet’s actions, while attempting to evade law enforcement, were determined to have directly contributed to Matran’s death. Based on these findings, Troopers with Louisiana State Police Troop L obtained an arrest warrant for Teoulet through the 22nd Judicial District Court for: Manslaughter, Aggravated Flight From an Officer, Reckless Operation of a Vehicle, No Seatbelt, and multiple traffic violations.
On Friday, May 29, Teoulet was taken into custody and booked into the Washington Parish Jail on this warrant. This crash remains under investigation.
