Indianapolis man arrested after fleeing police on I-69 in northern Indiana FREMONT, Ind. (WISH) — A 19-year-old from Indianapolis was arrested after a high-speed chase on Sunday in northern Indiana, the state police said in a Tuesday morning news release. Adolfo Mejia-Fuentes shortly before 8 p.m. Sunday fled from Fremont Police Department officers and continued south on I-69, the release from Indiana State Police said. Freemont and state police units pursued the man, who briefly evaded officers before being caught. During the pursuit, officers deployed tire deflation devices at two different locations along I-69 to slow Mejia-Fuentes’ vehicle. The device successfully deflated tires, prompting him to come to a stop. He then fled on foot, but a state trooper was quickly apprehended the man after a brief foot chase. Mejia-Fuentes has been charged with a preliminary, low-level felony count of resisting law enforcement using a vehicle. He’s expected to be formally charged in Steuben County. Following his arrest, he was taken to the Steuben County jail. The Steuben County sheriff’s app did not list Mejia-Fuentes as an inmate on Tuesday night, and no online court case had been filed.
