Two people from Columbia City are in custody after a high-speed pursuit that led officers from the Meijer in Warsaw into South Whitley, according to Times-Union reporting partners News Now Warsaw.
Winona Lake Town Marshal Joe Hawn told the radio station there was a report of a theft at the Meijer on Lake City Highway. An officer on CR 250W was able to get behind the suspect’s vehicle, which is when the suspect fled.
Hawn says the car, driven by 38-year-old Catherine Anderson, exceeded speeds of 120 mph. She drove through a yard, a cornfield and a bean field before the vehicle went off an embankment and into a creek in southeast South Whitley.
Along with Anderson, 27-year-old Jared Houser, who was a passenger in the vehicle, also was taken into custody.
Houser had a warrant out for his arrest in Whitley County. Additional charges are expected to be brought against him.
Anderson was booked into Kosciusko County Jail on charges of resisting law enforcement-fleeing. Hawn said theft charges for the incident at Meijer are pending against Anderson.
