Arrest in Pursuit Through Farm Fields

(La Porte County, IN) - A pursuit through farm fields left a driver in custody last evening in La Porte County.

 

Marcus Koehn, 38, was arrested for Resisting Law Enforcement and Invasion of Privacy when, according to La Porte County Police, Koehn violated a no-contact order upon going inside a residence in the 3300 block of East 300 South.

 

Police were called but Koehn left before authorities could arrive.

 

However, when he returned to the scene officers were still there, causing him to off in his Chevy Silverado.

 

During a traffic stop, Koehn fled yet again, veering into a farm field where he “drove aimlessly in varying directions” until returning to the road, per the LPCPD.

 

He drove through a yard and another field, before returning to the road and entering the field he had just driven in a second time.

 

At no time did Koehn ever exceed the posted speed limit or violate basic traffic laws.

 

Police said it appears his behavior while behind the wheel and the no-contact order were influenced by an addiction to prescription pills.
