Fugitive Leads Police to His Location

(La Porte County, IN) - An alleged rapist being sought locally drew law enforcement right to his whereabouts.

 

Kyle Terusiak, 28, is still being held today in the La Porte County Jail on a $25,000 bond.

 

Per authorities, at roughly 5 p.m. on Tuesday, officers responded to a harassment complaint from Terusiak at a residence in the 2700 block of 450 South. Before arriving, they confirmed that Terusiak had a warrant out for his arrest on the rape allegations, and quickly took him into custody after approaching the residence.

 

Police said the warrant was issued for his arrest on January 5th, following about a two-month investigation. He could face anywhere from a 3 to 16-year sentence on the Level 3 felony Rape charge.

 

So far, authorities have not made available to the public the specific details behind the alleged rape, but are expected to in the coming days.
