(La Porte, IN) - A La Porte man is facing charges in connection with a high speed chase ending with a crash and injuries.

 

Scott McRobert, 27, was still being held in the La Porte County Jail on allegations that included impaired driving.

 

Early last Friday, La Porte Police said he was caught traveling 47 miles per hour in a 25 mph zone on Lincolnway but refused to pull over.

 

Police said he ran stop signs, traffic lights and even traveled in the opposite side of Indiana 2 at speeds of up to 120 miles per hour before crashing into a tree near Rolling Prairie.

 

McRobert took off running but was soon captured, police said.

 

There were two passengers with one taken to the hospital complaining of serious pain.

 

Police said a blood test revealed alcohol and drugs were in his system.

 

The investigation shows his passengers kept urging McRobert to pull over but he refused, police said.
