The two police chases that crossed the Mississippi River between Vidalia and Natchez Thursday afternoon are not believed to be related. The first one came in the early afternoon, starting with a report of a drive-by shooting out of Catahoula Parish. The pickup at the center of the case was spotted in Concordia Parish, and that’s when the chase was on, crossing the bridge on US-84 and through a number of streets in Natchez before the driver was apprehended on Main near Pearl Street. Then around 6, a driver refused to pull over near the Walmart on Carter Street in Vidalia, leading police on a chase across several streets in town before crossing the river into Natchez, reaching 100 miles an hour at times. It finally came to an end with an arrest at 4th and St. Catherine.
