(La Porte County, IN) - Speeds reached 130 miles per hour and one of the men in the fleeing vehicle was later found hiding inside a garbage can.

 

The suspected driver in that chase from La Porte to Porter counties is now facing charges. 

 

Jerrod Joiner, 26, of Chicago was arrested last week about 10 days after a warrant for him was issued on charges that included assisting with a crime. 

 

Authorities said Joiner on February 10 was driving for a man who had just committed an act of fraud at a bank in Chesterton.

 

After the vehicle was located by La Porte County Police in Wanatah, there was a high speed chase on U.S. 30. The pursuit weaving through heavy afternoon traffic continued on Indiana 49.

 

It later veered onto the Indiana Toll Road where the men stopped and fled on foot near Portage, police said. 

 

Joiner was taken into custody in a residential neighborhood and so was the other man located inside a garbage can.

 

The second man later identified as Michael Aldaco from the Chicago area refused to come out but was grabbed once police tipped over the can, according to court documents.
