(La Porte, IN) - A man suspected of stealing a car was captured in a vehicular and foot-based pursuit that began in La Porte.

Sonny Taylor, 23, of La Porte was allegedly behind the wheel of a vehicle detected as being stolen on Friday evening by a Flock camera on Pine Lake Avenue near the overpass. A law enforcement officer then attempted a pull Taylor over in a traffic stop but the suspect accelerated, reportedly topping at 90 miles per hour while traveling northbound on U.S. 35. He passed other motorists in the opposite lane and on the shoulder before veering down 400 North where the officer lost sight of the vehicle.

Eventually, police located the vehicle, a red Kia Rio, abandoned about 100 yards down a dirt path.

Taylor was taken into custody after someone called 911 and reported a man matching his description running through a nearby wooded area and later a yard on 450 North.

The charges filed against him included Motor Vehicle Theft and Resisting Law Enforcement.
