LAKE CHARLES – A Bentley is fast, capable of 200 mph, but one wasn’t fast enough for an alleged thief Thursday night.

Troopers with Louisiana State Police Troop D in Lake Charles apprehended and arrested a man wanted in several states for stealing luxury cars and other charges after a pursuit and intensive manhunt.

Earlier in the afternoon, a trooper located an occupied 2007 Bentley that was stolen from a car dealership in Naples, Fla., in the parking lot of a business on Prien Lake Road in Lake Charles.

The driver, 22-year-old Justin William Durbin of Altus, Okla., fled and a pursuit ensued. Durbin entered Interstate 210 westbound, crossed the Calcasieu River, and then attempted to elude pursuing units on parish roads before crashing on Evergreen Road near Sulphur.

Durbin fled on foot and troopers set up a perimeter. Patrol troopers brought in additional resources and tTracking dogs and helicopters were used in the search.

Shortly after 9:30 p.m., a state trooper located Durbin and placed him under arrest without incident. Durbin was booked into the Calcasieu Parish Correctional Center for aggravated flight from an officer, possession of stolen things, possession of a stolen license plate, and various traffic charges related to the pursuit. Additionally, Durbin will be held without bond as a fugitive for the outstanding warrants.
