MINDEN - An inmate at the Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Facility at Camp Minden was captured early Friday after leaving a work detail and stealing a van, according to police.
The inmate, Rosendo Zapata, was assigned to a work crew detail on the Camp Minden grounds when he left the supervised work area and drove away in a van. The supervisor immediately alerted the Webster Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies on patrol, who located Zapata shortly after leaving the facility near Interstate 20.
Sheriff’s Office deputies pursued Zapata westbound on I-20 and alerted the Bossier Parish, Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Offices, and Louisiana State Police for assistance.
