LA Fugitives Captured In Orange County Pizza Parlor

MIDDLETOWN, NY — Two Louisiana fugitives, one of whom was wanted on a murder charge, were taken into custody by police without incident Wednesday in an Orange County pizza parlor. Kristan Broussard, 33, and Ursula Bourque, 30, of New Iberia, Louisiana, were spotted looking into cars in Otisville by a pair of Mount Hope police officers.

Around 12:40 p.m., the officers, who thought they looked familiar, spoke to the couple who said they were looking for a place to eat, recordonline said.

Broussard and Bourque went into Pizza Mania on Route 211 in Mount Hope and one of the officers followed them inside. The pair was taken into custody.

The state police, along with the U.S. Marshals and City of Middletown Police Department, had been searching for the pair since they were confirmed to be in the Middletown area Tuesday.

They had evaded capture in New Jersey after a police chase and took a taxi to a Middletown residence known to Bourque.

The couple then walked to Mount Hope, News 12 said.

Bourque was wanted in Louisiana on a parole violation.

They are being held in Orange County Jail.
