Sheriff Jeff Bergeron reports that on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, at approximately 8:20 a.m., a WBRSO Criminal Patrol deputy conducted a traffic stop on a commercial box truck traveling westbound on I-10 for observed traffic violations.
During the stop, the deputy determined that the driver, 25-year-old Ameer Nassar of Houston, Texas, was wanted by the Pennsylvania State Police in connection with a fatal hit-and-run crash that occurred in Bethel Township, Pennsylvania on Friday, April 10, 2026. The vehicle he was operating at the time of the stop was also identified as being involved in the incident.
According to Pennsylvania State Police, Nassar struck and killed a 33-year-old man who had pulled his tractor-trailer onto the shoulder and was outside adjusting straps at the time of the crash.
Nassar was taken into custody and booked into the West Baton Rouge Parish Sheriffโs Office as a fugitive. He has since been transferred to the custody of the Pennsylvania State Police.
