Alexandria Man Arrested In Scott Area Hit-And-Run Case
51-year-old Percy Laviolette of Alexandria sits in the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center after allegedly hitting a vehicle with his pickup truck, then driving away.
Scott Police Chief Chad Leger says the incident happened on Valentine’s Day after 7 p.m. in the 4500 block of Cameron Street. The victim told officers he was about to turn left off of Cameron Street onto Pecan Grove Road when he was rear ended by Laviolette’s pickup, which then sped away.
