High Speed Chase Suspect Dies

Sources allege that Earl Grant, 43, was in a high speed chase with police following a car crash on Wednesday, August 26 on the southside of Monroe, LA. Witnesses who heard the noise from the crash allege it happened on Wilson St. or nearby on one of the adjacent streets. Sources share that Grant went into cardiac arrest and soon died after the incident. According to police reports, Monroe police department (MPD) officers responded to the scene of a serious two-vehicle crash shortly after 9:00PM on August 26. While investigating the crash, the individual who was alleged to have caused the crash refused to comply with officer orders and attempted to leave the scene. MPD officers then subdued the individual. The individual was subsequently transported by ambulance to a hospital and later passed away. The cause of death was unknown at the time. Because the person passed away, MPD immediately contacted Louisiana state police. State police assumed control of the investigation into the death of the individual. There are three sides to every story. This was one side of this story. The Monroe Dispatch welcomes another or the other side of this story. Prayers to the Grant family in the loss of their loved one.
