FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WISH) — A woman took an unsecured Fort Wayne Police Department patrol vehicle on Monday, leading to a brief police pursuit that ended in a crash, authorities said. Fort Wayne officers were initially sent about 3:10 p.m. Monday to a report of an unwanted person at a home in the 1000 block of Columbia Avenue. That’s in a housing addition northeast of downtown Fort Wayne. Officers said they found a woman who appeared incoherent, and determined no crime had happened and released her. Shortly after her release, the woman entered an unsecured, marked patrol vehicle and drove it away from the scene. The chase ended when the patrol vehicle crashed into another vehicle at the intersection of East State Boulevard and St. Joseph Boulevard, just a few blocks from the home, police said in a news release. Two people were taken to a hospital after the collision, but no serious injuries were reported. Police and the Allen County Prosecutor’s Office are investigating. No additional information, including the name of the woman, was immediately available. ...read more read less
