Baton Rouge Fire mechanic wanted, accused of crashing city vehicle while under the influence

BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — A Baton Rouge Fire Department employee is wanted after being accused of crashing a city-parish vehicle while under the influence.

Bart Perkins, 56, of Pride, faces charges of careless operation of a vehicle and operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

According to the Central Police Department, on Dec. 5, 2024, officers responded to a crash in the 9500 block of Hooper Road.

An arrest warrant states Perkins was driving a Ford F-150, which is owned by East Baton Rouge, when he reportedly crashed into the witness’ vehicle. The witness told authorities that he looked in his rearview mirror and it appeared Perkins’ head was down.

Upon the officer’s arrival, emergency responders found Perkins unconscious and administered Narcan, a medication used to treat narcotic overdose. Perkins immediately was brought back to consciousness.

Perkins was an apparatus technician for the Baton Rouge Fire Department since 2008. He has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation.
