(La Porte County, IN) - A motor vehicle pursuit from La Porte to Michigan City yesterday ended with the fleeing driver on foot getting bitten by a police dog.

 

Jacob Cooper, 34, of Kalamazoo, Michigan was arrested on multiple counts including resisting law enforcement and operating while intoxicated.

 

About 3:30 a.m., La Porte County Police said he fled when an officer tried stopping him for speeding in in La Porte in the area of 1st and J streets.

 

Police said he soon crashed into a fence at the La Porte County Highway Department on Zigler Road and continued westbound until reaching U.S. 421 where he headed north into Michigan City.

 

Eventually, the man stopped near the lakefront and took off running until bitten by a police dog.

 

Cooper was taken to the La Porte County Jail where he was being held not just on the charges related to the pursuit but other charges from a downstate Indiana county.
