A Blanchard man was arrested for hit-and-run and multiple other traffic violations, stated Sheriff Henry Whitehorn, Sr.

On July 26, around 8:00 AM, patrol deputies responded to a report of a burglary in the 6900 block of Carroll Circle near Blanchard.

Upon arrival, deputies found a 34-year-old man named Colin Hurst in the backyard of the residence, bleeding. Hurst appeared to be extremely impaired and possibly believed he was at his own home.

Further investigation revealed that Hurst had crashed his vehicle on Glenn Road and then fled the scene on foot. It was also discovered that he was driving with a suspended license due to a prior DUI.

Deputies transported Hurst to Ochsner/LSU Health at 1501 Kings Highway in Shreveport, LA, to treat the injuries he sustained while attempting to break into the residence. After being examined by medical staff at Ochsner/LSU Health, Hurst was subsequently taken to Caddo Correctional Center, where he was booked for hit and run, DWI (4th offense), and driving under suspension.
