BATON ROUGE – Even though hundreds of people gathered for street races through the capital Saturday night into Sunday morning, only one person received a citation and had their car impounded.
Video posted by StreetDemonsBR showed stunt racers doing donuts in the Costco parking lot, drivers going 100 miles per hour on the interstate, and bystanders becoming participants as they took on a police car.
According to the Baton Rouge Police Department, officers responded to St. Phillip near Past Time and George’s Bar to crack down on reckless driving in the area.
A crowd of onlookers pushed the first police unit to arrive at the scene, preventing it from reaching the stunt drivers. Police say bystanders hit the car causing unknown damage.
One person, Jatyrian Dyson, was issued a summons Sunday morning and had his car towed.
No further information was immediately available.
