(La Porte County, IN) - Another driver failed in a bid to outrun La Porte County Police in what was a lengthy pursuit early today.

 

Police said 36 year old Hassan Malley was pulled over for a license plate violation at Indiana 212 and Tryon Road on Michigan City’s east side.

 

During a computer check, a warrant for his arrest turned up from Wisconsin, police said.  That’s when Malley allegedly hit the gas pedal, venturing into Michigan on U.S. 12 then back into Michigan City where stop sticks were used to puncture one of his tires.

 

However, police said the Beverly Shores man kept going then headed west on Interstate 94 for a mile or two before stopping.

 

Malley was taken to the La Porte County Jail where a hold was placed on him for authorities in Wisconsin.  He was also charged with Level 6 felony resisting law enforcement and two misdemeanor counts.

 

Police said the pursuit began about 1 a.m.
