A New Iberia man is in jail in Vermilion Parish after a police pursuit from Abbeville to New Iberia that ended with gunfire being exchanged at his residence in Acadian Acres.

Ryan Hargrave, 56, was arrested on charges of aggravated assault with a firearm, unlawful use of body armor, aggravated flight from an officer and threatening a public official. 

Law enforcement officials from multiple agencies, including Abbeville and New Iberia Police, Abbeville City Marshal, and Vermilion and Iberia Sheriff’s Offices were involved in the chase.

According to a Louisiana State police spokesman, Hargrave fired at police after they pursued him to his home at the corner of Alameda and Santa Clara streets after 6 p.m. Tuesday. He was hit during the exchange when multiple officers returned fire.

It is not known which agencies the officers returning fire worked for.

Hargrave was treated at the scene for non-life-threatening injuries, then put under observation at a local hospital.

According to the Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Office, he was processed into the jail early Wednesday. Bail is set at $190,000.

New Iberia Police officers were at Hargrave’s residence on May 5. On that day, Hargrave refused to come out of the house, leading to an hours-long standoff. No charges were filed in that incident.

The LSP is handling the investigation, which is ongoing, because officers fired their weapons during the arrest. New Iberia Police Chief Todd D’Albor said Tuesday evening he was turning the investigation over to the state.
