(La Porte, IN) - Trying to flee police during a snow storm can turn a vehicle into a hockey puck. As a result, A La Porte man wound up in the penalty box.
59 year old Timothy Thomas is charged with resisting law enforcement and aggressive driving. According to La Porte County Police, Thomas pulled in front of a police vehicle on J Street about 6:30 yesterday morning. Police said he accelerated and started fish tailing. He even passed a vehicle from behind on the freshly snow covered pavement which led to a motor vehicle pursuit.
The chase was discontinued because of the slick roads, but Thomas kept going and slid off the road near the fairgrounds. He was grabbed and taken to the La Porte County Jail.
