(La Porte County, IN) - Charges have been filed in connection with a high speed chase that blew through Michigan and La Porte County.

 

Shawn Marlow and Jamari Williams, both of Merrillville, were among the people inside a fleeing vehicle.

 

Nearly two weeks ago, an officer in Berrien County tried stopping the vehicle for speeding on Interstate 94, but Williams did not pull over. This led into a pursuit into La Porte County that topped at more than 130 miles per hour.  

 

According to court documents, the Berrien County Sheriff’s Deputy lost sight of the vehicle, which soon was spotted again at Michigan City in the area of U.S. 421 and 400 North.

 

La Porte County Police joined the chase, which veered back onto Interstate 94 and ended in Porter County when stop sticks flattened the fleeing vehicle’s tires.

Williams has been charged with Resisting Law Enforcement and Providing False Identification.  Police noted that he also had a warrant out for his arrest in Cook County, Illinois.

 

Marlow allegedly had marijuana and various pills in his posession, along with two guns.
