Summary
Amite, Louisiana, law enforcement just pulled off a dramatic takedown, nabbing fugitive Demontay Watkins hiding in an attic — a classic move for someone with a long rap sheet, including gun possession as a felon, attempted evasion, and minor-related charges. Watkins, already a wanted man in at least two other parishes for a shooting and a high-speed chase, was found alongside eight others, including a 14-year-old — all charged for aiding his escape. The bust, executed by Tangipahoa Parish’s new Street Crimes Unit (just launched two weeks ago), also yielded drugs and weapons, showcasing how community tips and data-driven patrols are catching criminals in real time.
