One of two people arrested following a police chase in Livingston Parish is identified as a Louisiana state official.
Bridgette Hull, the Executive Secretary for the Louisiana State Board of Private Security Examiners, is facing charges after authorities say drugs and a firearm were found in the vehicle.
According to the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office, Hull was spotted with a wanted fugitive and was in the middle of a drug deal when officers tried to arrest them yesterday.
The other suspect, identified as Steven McCarthy, reportedly fled the scene and led officers on a chase that ended when he crashed into another vehicle.
The board is planning to meet tomorrow to discuss whether Hull will continue to serve as executive secretary.
