Michael Perriloux, 18, arrested on multiple charges, after a police pursuit, in a stolen car, leads to a crash with a utility pole and a house near Meraux in St. Bernard Parrish.

A Baton Rouge man was arrested Tuesday in Meraux after fleeing police in a stolen Cadillac and crashing the car into a house, according to the St. Bernard Sheriff's office. Michael Perriloux, 18, was spotted driving recklessly by a St. Bernard Parish Sheriff's deputy on E. Judge Perez Drive. Perriloux stopped the car in the 4500 block of E. Judge Perez Drive. But as the deputy was getting out his car, the Cadillac sped off. While trying to pass other cars that were stopped near the corner of DeBouchel Boulevard, Perriloux struck a utility pole. He then turned into a subdivision, where he hit a house with the car at the corner of DeBouchel Drive and Tracey Avenue, police said. After hitting the house, Perriloux got out of the car and fled on foot. He jumped multiple fences in the subdivision, but was eventually apprehended by a sheriff's deputy near the corner of Anais and Mayflower drives. On Wednesday, he admitted to stealing the car in Baton Rouge, police said. It was reported in that area on March 1. Perriloux left the Baton Rouge area, saying he wanted to get away from family members. Perriloux was booked into St. Bernard Parish prison on charges of hit-and-run driving, aggravated flight from an officer, resisting arrest, reckless operation, possession of stolen property and driving without a license.
