Wednesday afternoon, Indiana State Police clocked a vehicle driven by Stokes traveling over 90mph on US 231.

Police tried to conduct a traffic stop but Stokes disregarded the patrol car.

When emergency lights went on, Stokes sped away from the trooper, before stopping on State Road 62. When officers caught up to the stopped car, Stokes sped off again, heading towards I-64.

Other officers joined the chase attempting to catch Stokes as he headed on I-64.

Eventually, Stokes stopped the car in a rest park and started to run into a field. Troopers caught Stokes and arrested him.
