Police Pursuit Leads To ArrestA Warsaw man is in custody after a police pursuit this week.
A Warsaw Police Department officer attempted to pull over a man at East CR 900N and North Old 15 late Monday night. The driver did not have an ID on him and allegedly gave the officer a fake name.
The driver ended up driving away from the traffic stop. He went off road into bean fields several times before entering a field at North CR 425W and West CR 800N where he ditched his vehicle.
Officers found the vehicle, but were unable to find the driver, even after doing a K-9 track. The same WPD officer was heading home shortly after 7 a.m. when he saw a man walking near Ind. 15 and CR 900N. When the man saw police, he began to run into a cornfield.
Additional officers arrived, drove into the cornfield, and located 34-year-old Michael Garman. Paraphernalia also was found nearby.
Garman was arrested on preliminary charges of resisting law enforcement with a vehicle, resisting law enforcement fleeing, reckless driving, driving while suspended prior and possession of paraphernalia.
WPD was assisted by Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department, Winona Lake Police Department and the Milford Police Department.
