(Michigan City, IN) - A suspected drunk driver led police on a motor vehicle chase ending in Michigan City early today.
It all began just after midnight when, according to La Porte County Police, a sheriff’s deputy tried pulling over a driver in a sports car for speeding in the area of 400 North and 950 West.
The 66-year-old driver then hit the gas and his speed, eventually, exceeded 120 miles per hour headed northbound on Franklin Street, disregarding numerous traffic lights along the way to 4th. He then got stuck behind a train at 11th and Pine.
As a result, he allegedly fled on foot, but age and possibly the golf shoes he was wearing slowed him down, leading to him soon being grabbed by authorities with help from a K-9 dog.
The driver, identified as Robert Keller from Colorado, was arrested for Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated among other counts such as Resisting Law Enforcement.
