A New York man was arrested Wednesday, May 10 following a short pursuit in Marshall County.
The Marshall County Sheriff’s Department received a call about a van or “longer vehicle” with no taillights all over the roadway in the area of U.S. 6 and King Road just after 5 a.m. ET. Deputies located the vehicle and attempted to conduct a traffic stop, but the driver of the vehicle reportedly refused to pull over. Stop sticks were deployed which were effective where the vehicle stopped near Bremen on U.S. 6.
The driver allegedly refused to exit the vehicle and sprayed the officers with an unknown liquid.
The driver, identified as Craig E. Andrews, was eventually taken into custody and transported to a local hospital for evaluation. He was later booked into the Marshall County Jail on preliminary charges of resisting law enforcement with a vehicle, resisting law enforcement, battery on law enforcement, and possession of marijuana.
Formal charges will be determined by the Marshall County Prosecutor’s Office.
The Marshall County Sheriff’s Department was assisted by the Bremen Police Department and the Nappanee Police Department.
Suspects are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
