Shots Fired in Escape Attempt

Concordia Parish deputies reportedly fired shots outside the jail to disable an SUV and stop an inmate from escaping. 26-year old Kristen Berry was in the booking area and, when someone else walked in, she grabbed the door before it closed and ran out into the parking lot. Berry was receiving a Promise to Appear order for a drug-related arrest at the time. A deputy, the major, and jail warden chased Berry, who then got into an SUV and drove it toward the major and warden. That’s when the shots were fired, disabling the vehicle. Berry was taken into custody without further incident.
