Beauregard deputy identified as driver in double fatality crash

By Pamela Sleezer A former Beauregard Parish deputy has been identified as the driver in a fatal crash that claimed the lives of a Sulphur couple over the weekend. Dylan Havens, 26, was arrested Friday night and charged with two counts of vehicular homicide, careless operation, and speeding after Louisiana State Police say he rear-ended a vehicle on La. 389 in DeQuincy, causing fatal injuries to both passengers. Havens was off duty when the crash occurred. Sheriff Mark Herford said that as of Tuesday morning, Havens has been terminated and is no longer an employee of the Beauregard Parish Sheriff’s Office. “It is with great sadness and disappointment that I have to inform the public that one of my deputies was involved in the fatal wreck,” Herford said in an official statement released over the weekend.
