(La Porte County, IN) - Charges have been filed in connection with a recent high-speed pursuit of a suspected drunk driver in La Porte County.

Lucas Grams, 25, of Trail Creek was allegedly clocked at 100 miles per hour on Indiana 2 near Rolling Prairie early Sunday afternoon.

While an officer was turning around to catch up, authorities explained that Grams tried slipping away by turning onto County Road 700 East and pulling into a driveway. The officer, however, did not lose sight of the suspected vehicle and, upon approaching the driver, noticed an odor of alcohol on his breath.  

Grams was arrested while allegedly having a blood alcohol level of more than twice the legal .08 percent limit. He purportedly did not respond when asked why he was traveling so fast nor why he didn't pull over right away.
