LONGVIEW — Two Louisiana men remained in a Longview jail for trying to outrun local authorities. Bond was set at $20,000 for 24-year-old Steven Robert Avie, Jr., and at $35,000 for 26-year-old Jammal Louis Ceasar, both of Eunice, La. Texas Department of Public Safety trooper Brant Smith said the pair tried to evade arrest on Texas 135 in Gregg County shortly after 4:00 Saturday afternoon.
According to Precinct 2 Justice of the Peace Arthur Fort, three counts of tampering with physical evidence were added to Ceasars charges because he ingested drugs prior to his arrest. Ceasar (pictured) was transported to a Longview hospital before he was booked into the Gregg County Jail.
