Ascension deputies respond to reported home invasion on Mother's Day involving man with several warrants
PRAIRIEVILLE - Ascension Parish sheriff's deputies responded to a reported home invasion on Mother's Day involving a man who has several warrants out for his arrest.
Deputies say they responded to a home on Autumn Drive in Prairieville. When they got there, they spoke with the victim and a witness who identified the suspect as Taylor Sharkey, 33, of Amite. Sharkey is a former boyfriend of the victim who had an active restraining order against him.
Deputies located the suspect vehicle traveling westbound on La. 42, and they attempted a traffic stop.
The suspect initially appeared to cooperate but suddenly sped away, leading deputies on a brief pursuit. Sharkey lost control of his vehicle, crashing into a ditch and suffered moderate injuries.
He is currently in the hospital, and once he's released, he will be arrested for several charges, including home invasion, violation of a protective order, improper telephone communications, stalking, aggravated flight from an officer and various traffic violations.
On Monday, 2 On Your Side was contacted by the owner of the vehicle that was involved in the wreck. That person says Sharkey stole her vehicle from a body shop in Denham Springs. WBRZ is waiting to learn more from Livingston Parish deputies.
