High-speed pursuit ends in Anderson
Fortville, Pendleton, Edgewood officers involved in chase
PENDLETON — An early Friday pursuit that reached speeds of up to 110 mph and included officers from Fortville, Pendleton and Edgewood, ended after an officer rammed the suspect’s car.
Pendleton Police Department officials said in a news release that they were notified by dispatchers of the pursuit shortly after 12:30 a.m. Dispatchers told officers a Dodge Charger was traveling northbound on Indiana 67 being pursued by a Fortville officers. The Charger’s model year was not included in the news release.
Pendleton Sgt. Shane Isaacs tried placing stop-sticks at the intersection of Indiana 67 and North Pendleton Avenue, but was unable to get them in place before the Charger passed the scene.
The Charger continued into Anderson along Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard going 85 to 110 mph, according to police. The Dodge turned west onto 25th Street, and Edgewood Officer Joe Humphries placed stop-sticks at the intersection of 25th and Raible Avenue.
The Charger came to a complete halt and avoided puncturing its tires. Humphries was outside and behind his patrol car with his handgun drawn when the Charger then drove directly at him. According to the press release, Humphries didn’t fire on the Dodge, however, because of homes in the vicinity and the Fortville patrol car was behind the suspect car.
Isaac’s then struck the Charger with his patrol vehicle, causing it to spin clockwise. The car tried fleeing again, and Isaac struck the vehicle a second time, disabling it and his own car.
Officers then arrested Antonio Dabney, 26, Indianapolis. He resisted arrest, according to the release, and Fortville Officer Mark Lyons used his Taser to subdue him.
Dabney was initially taken to Saint John’s Hospital, but later transported to the Hancock County Jail. Officials will forward paperwork to Madison County prosecutors to determine if local charges are warranted.
