INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Crime Guns Task Force (ICGTF) has arrested a man who caused a fatal crash, illegally possessed a firearm and fled from police. In a Facebook post, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department reported that the ICGTF located and apprehended 19-year-old Eric Simpson last week. Simpson was taken into custody after police served warrants for his arrest in the 1600 block of Kessler Boulevard North Drive. Booking photo of Eric Simpson. The warrants were related to a fatal crash he allegedly caused and his illegal possession of a machine gun. Simpson first got on IMPD's radar in February. At that time, he was arrested in the 1000 block of North Linwood Avenue because he possessed a firearm equipped with a machine gun conversion device. In July, more than four months after his February arrest, Simpson was spotted carrying a firearm in downtown Indianapolis. IMPD officers saw him and knew he was a prohibited person that could not legally possess a gun. During the July incident, police attempted to conduct a traffic stop with Simpson because they saw him with a gun. Officers' efforts to pull Simpson over were unsuccessful, as he fled when law enforcement began to try to make a traffic stop. Though police initially engaged in a chase with Simpson, they could not catch him, and the pursuit was terminated. Even after he had gotten away from police, Simpson continued to drive at a high rate of speed. His vehicle eventually flipped and caused a crash. One person was killed in the crash and another was seriously injured. Simpson fled the scene of the crash, and police failed to apprehend him at the time. Following his arrest last week, Simpson was booked into the Marion County Jail. He is being held on the following charges: Possession of a machine gun — a Level 5 Felony Dealing in marijuana —a Level 6 Felony Resisting law enforcement (two counts) — a Level 3 Felony Reckless homicide — a Level 5 Felony Unlawful Carrying of a handgun — a Class A Misdemeanor The most serious of the charges Simpson faces — resisting law enforcement — is a Level 3 Felony in Indiana. The maximum penalty for such a crime in the Hoosier State is a 16-year prison sentence and a fine of up to $10,000.
