A man wanted on parole violations related to previous sex offense convictions was arrested Friday following a police pursuit that ended at a Red Roof Inn in Port Allen.
According to authorities, Charles Mangrum was taken into custody and charged with aggravated assault with a motor vehicle on a peace officer and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
