Shreveport Police have arrested two suspects following an attempted check fraud incident that led to a vehicle pursuit on July 8, 2026.

SPD patrol officers were contacted after representatives from Barksdale Federal Credit Union, located at 8810 Youree Drive, reported an attempt to negotiate a fraudulent check. The suspects, identified as Jaderria Williams and Desmond Anderson, fled from the location in a vehicle, leading officers on a pursuit that ended in the 1000 block of Bert Kouns Industrial Loop after the vehicle crashed.

Both Williams and Anderson were detained by patrol officers. Detectives with the Shreveport-Caddo Financial Crimes Task Force responded and continued the investigation.

Investigators learned that Williams had allegedly successfully negotiated fraudulent checks at other Barksdale Federal Credit Union branches on July 7, 2026. The account involved had been frozen after the prior fraudulent activity, which prevented the attempted transaction at the Youree Drive branch on July 8.

Williams was booked into custody on charges of aggravated flight from an officer, hit and run, forgery, and a Louisiana Probation and Parole hold.

Anderson was booked into custody on charges of resisting an officer, possession of Schedule I marijuana, and a fugitive warrant out of Bossier Parish.

This arrest is another example of SPD patrol officers and Financial Crimes detectives working together to quickly identify suspects, protect victims, and hold offenders accountable.
