Beauregard Hunt For Kidnaper Of Texans Cancelled
Beauregard parish Sheriff Paul Starks said a 50 man posse gave up a manhunt for ex convict James E. Johnson 31 accused of kidnapping two Texans. The search was paused with no immediate plans to resume unless new leads emerge. Johnson forced Deputy Tom Eddleman to drive him 45 miles at gunpoint in a patrol car before shoving a passenger from the vehicle. He later diverted a motorist to cross the Louisiana border and may be heavily armed with a pistol and revolver.
