Trying to outrun police seems to be the thing in Lafayette, as yet another individual led law enforcement officials on a foot chase.

Lafayette Police responded to a report of a burglary, at a home on Steele Street, and arrived to find the homeowner claiming that a number of items had been stolen from a room which had been built on at the rear of her residence.

She also accused a man whom she said "stayed there from time to time" of taking the items, valued at around $700.00

That's when 30 year old Chris Denton ran from the home and managed to get away.

The following day, officers were dispatched to a report of a fight in progress, at the Langley Apartments on South Main – where they found Denton in the midst of a loud argument with 32 year old Benjamin Fuller,

Fuller told police that Denton had stolen his guitar from his mother's house the day before

Both men were charged with disorderly conduct and Denton was charged with felony theft.
