Pursuit Ends When Suspect Vehicle
Runs Out of Fuel
Anderson, Indiana - On
today’s date at approximately 4:45
p.m., Sergeant Jeff Zeiger of the
Indiana State Police Pendleton Post,
clocked a vehicle southbound on
Interstate 69 in Madison County at
97 mph near the 40 mile marker. An
earlier dispatch from the Redkey
State Police Post advised there was
a red 2006 Jeep Cherokee with no
license plates driving southbound
Interstate 69 in Delaware County at
a high rate of speed.
Sergeant Zeiger caught up with the
vehicle at the 27 mile marker and
pursued the vehicle with his red
lights and siren on as the driver of
the Jeep Cherokee continued
southbound passing vehicles on the
right and left shoulders of
Interstate 69. The driver’s Jeep
Cherokee ran out of fuel at the 24
mile marker. The passenger exited
the vehicle and was handcuffed by
Zeiger. The driver of the vehicle
continued to attempt to restart the
vehicle and ignored Sergeant
Zeiger’s verbal commands to exit the
vehicle. After an approximate five
minute stand off the driver exited
the vehicle and was arrested. The
passenger was ultimately not charged
and was released.
The 2006 Jeep Cherokee was reported
stolen on today’s date out of Macomb
County, Michigan at 10:21 a.m. The
vehicle was taken to the Indiana
State Police Post at Pendleton to be
processed.
