NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Police Department has suspended one of its officers after he allegedly led Crescent City Connection police on a high-speed chase, fled after being pulled over, and slapped a bridge police officer who followed him to his district station, authorities said.

Officer Donyell Sanchell, a four-year veteran in NOPD's 1st District, has been suspended without pay after the Saturday incident, according to police spokesman Bob Young.
