KOKOMO, Ind. (WISH) — A 19-year-old was arrested Wednesday after leading an Indiana State Police (ISP) trooper on a pursuit in Howard County.
Shortly after 2 a.m. Wednesday, an ISP trooper was patrolling near the intersection of Main Street and Markland Avenue in Kokomo, Indiana, when he noticed a 2003 Chevrolet Corvette with its headlights not illuminated. The driver was later identified as 19-year-old Tywaune A. Tucker, of Kokomo. The trooper attempted to initiate a traffic stop on the Corvette. Tucker disregarded a red light and fled at high speeds, initiating a pursuit.
The pursuit continued north of Main Street to Harrison Street, where the Corvette left the roadway and struck a brick wall. Tucker was taken into custody without incident, and no injuries were reported as a result of the crash.
Investigators revealed that Tucker had accessed an unoccupied nearby residence, where the Corvette was located. He was transported to the Howard County Jail, where he has been preliminarily charged with burglary, residential entry, theft of a vehicle, resisting law enforcement with a vehicle, and operating a vehicle without a license.
