(La Porte County, IN) - La Porte City Police were recently involved in a high-speed chase that ended in the driver making it home and ultimately crashing through his ceiling.

 

Police say that, early on Sunday, 35-year-old Scottie Fletcher was traveling with no lights on in the area of Indiana Avenue and Boyd Boulevard. An officer attempted to make a traffic stop but Fletcher allegedly kept going.

 

Eventually, with officers in pursuit, Fletcher cut across a field in his 2002 Dodge Ram before fleeing on foot through a wooded area into his home between Kingsbury and Union Mills.

 

Per authorities, he apparently crawled into his attic to hide from pursuing officers but fell through the ceiling. He was covered in insulation from the attic when he was greeted by officers.

 

An open case of Budweiser was reportedly found in his vehicle.

 

Fletcher was arrested for Operating a Vehicle while Intoxicated when he allegedly refused a breathalyzer test and for Resisting Law Enforcement.
