Benjamin Brant, 25, was arrested Friday on charges of aggravated flight from an officer, two counts of aggravated second degree battery and hit and run. He is also facing several traffic violations and a drug-related charge.
Oakdale Police Chief Chad Doyle said Brant admitted to being the shooter while being questioned by detectives after being arrested on a warrant.

Brant is being held in the Allen Parish Jail on a $28,200 bond.
