Police chase motorcycle over two parishes ending with arrest in Caddo

DISCLAIMER: All persons all presumed innocent until proven guilty

CADDO PARISH (KTAL/KMSS) – A cross-parish chase ends in a foot pursuit after police in DeSoto and Caddo Parishes attempt to bring in a man who they believe stole a motorcycle.

On May 25, 2025, the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office (CPSO) took over a pursuit for 28-year-old Bradley Scott Burgess that began in DeSoto Parish.

Shortly after receiving a call about the rogue rider around 3 p.m., CPSO officers spotted the red motorcycle and joined the chase.

After running multiple red lights and exceeding the speed limit by over 25 mph, the motorcycle came to a sudden stop at the intersection of Southern Avenue and East 78th Street.

This is where officers say Burgess hopped off the motorcycle and began to flee on foot before being quickly taken down by Deputy Normand of CPSO.

While conducting a search of Burgess, deputies also found a handgun in his possession.

Burgess was arrested and transported to the Caddo Correctional Center, where he was booked on six charges:

• Illegal Possession of Stolen Things (Felony) – motorcycle valued at $7,500
• Aggravated Flight from an Officer (Felony)
• Possession of a Firearm by a Person Convicted of Certain Prior Felonies (Felony)
• In-State Fugitive (Louisiana State Probation and Parole warrant)
• Driving Under Suspension (Misdemeanor)
• Switched Tag

This is not his ride with the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office. Burgess has seven other arrests on record, dating back to as early as 2019.

He is currently being held by Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office.
