Monday night, November 4, at approximately 11:30 p.m., Trooper Trey Stewart was patrolling Green River Road near Covert Avenue when he stopped the driver of a 2016 Hyundai for not wearing his seat belt. While Trooper Stewart was approaching the vehicle, the driver accelerated away from the traffic stop and continued east on Covert Avenue before turning south on Shoshoni Lane. The driver made a U-turn at Pollack Avenue and drove back north on Shoshoni Lane and then east on Covert Avenue.
The driver made another U-turn near I-69 and continued west on Covert Avenue before driving south on Hicks Drive and then west on Pollack Avenue. When the driver turned north on Elmendorf Avenue he crashed into a ditch and fled on foot.
