Ascension Parish Sheriff’s deputies received information that a suspect in a stolen vehicle was stopped at a gas station in Gonzales on Sunday, February 21 shortly before 3 a.m.
When deputies attempted to approach the suspect in the stolen truck, the suspect fled at a high rate of speed that led deputies on a short vehicle pursuit. The Gonzales Police Department assisted deputies at which time the suspect lost control of the vehicle near Airline Highway and Highway 621.

Through investigation it was learned that Jackson was wanted by the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office for two counts of attempted first-degree murder, two counts of aggravated criminal damage to property, and possession of a firearm by convicted felon.
