(La Porte, IN) - A man is facing charges related to a short high speed pursuit on La Porte’s east side.  Anthony Rumbel, 19, was arrested Monday night for resisting law enforcement, reckless driving and driving on a suspended license.

La Porte Police said an officer near the Speedway on East Lincolnway began following a car with extremely tinted windows for not having a license plate.  Police said the driver quickly accelerated and veered southbound on Boyd Boulevard reaching speeds estimated at 100 miles per hour despite a light rain creating wet road conditions.

The officer soon lost sight of the vehicle at Ohio Street.  Another officer on the lookout for the suspect located the vehicle outside Country Acres Apartments and spotted Rumbel sitting about a 100 feet away on a picnic table.

He was being held in the La Porte County Jail on $755 bond.
