After a fight that went as far as putting a trash can over his girlfriend’s head and then leading police on a chase that included bashing into a police car, Chaddick Demoine Senegal, 25, faces a slew of charges.
On Wednesday, Eunice Police were called at 4:48 p.m. to a fight at EZ Laundry on Maple Avenue across from Brownie’s.
Eunice Police Chief Randy Fontenot said the report was a male was inside the laundry fighting his girlfriend with children present.
The fighting included Senegal putting a trash can over the victim’s head, he said.
One of the children present called their grandmother to come help stop the beating, he said.
When the grandmother arrived, she left the keys in the ignition and went into the laundry.
When police arrived Senegal went to the grandmother’s Toyota sedan and fled in it toward his residence in the 300 block of Cotton Street near where he stopped, Fontenot said.
Senegal got out of the car then got back in and fled from police, he said.
While fleeing from police again, Senegal drove into a police vehicle at Benoit and Maple and damage it, he said. The police Tahoe was hit hard enough it tipped up on two wheels, he said.
Senegal turned down Boudreaux, but ended up where he started — the EZ Laundry parking lot where he was arrested, Fontenot said.
During the pursuit Senegal nearly hit several other vehicles including police units, he said.
Apparently no one was injured in the pursuit.
The girlfriend suffered swelling from the battery, he said.
The battered police car was drivable following the collision.
