Louisiana Man Arrested for DWI After Driving on Wrong Side of I-10
For a few folks driving on I-10 eastbound in Baton Rouge early Sunday morning, they were surprised by something you’re not supposed to see — headlights coming towards you.
Oh, no, we’re not talking about headlights in the westbound lane. These were coming straight for eastbound drivers, as an alleged intoxicated man was driving on the wrong side of the interstate.
That man, 26-year-old Jarvis Grayson, was arrested after he not only drove westbound in the eastbound I-10 lane, but he also crashed into a Subaru SUV head-on.
And yes, you guessed it, he was driving intoxicated. (There was no information given about the condition of the driver that was hit.)

When authorities arrived at the scene, Grayson ran away and hid in a bush about a mile from the crash. He was eventually caught and brought back to the scene.
According to Louisiana State Police, Grayson admitted to drinking alcohol before the wreck. Troopers could easily smell alcohol on Grayson’s breath.

However, Grayson refused to provide a blood sample and take a field sobriety test. LSP still arrested him (around 4:30 am) for DWI and numerous other charges.

MONROE, La. (KNOE) – Shelby Bordelon of Iberville Parish was crowned Miss Louisiana 2026 Saturday night in Monroe, earning the title and a $15,000 scholarship. Bordelon, a graduate student at Southeastern Louisiana University, said the role is about more than pageantry, emphasizing the yearlong service mission tied to the crown.
“Part of the mission of this organization is the service behind it,” Bordelon said. “And the service is so important, you are serving your state for a year… having the opportunities to connect with others… to continue making an impact and leaving my mark on others as well.”
Bordelon, who finished first runner-up in last year’s competition, said the moment her name was called as the winner still hasn’t fully sunk in.
“It was every emotion you could think of that was running through my mind at that moment,” she said, adding she focused on preparation and perspective this year. “I really wanted to go into this year with no regrets… just really trusting in that mindset and that plan.”
Bordelon said she hopes to use her platform to raise awareness for her nonprofit, Claire’s Promise, which focuses on combating drunk driving.
