(La Porte County, IN) - Two men in the same vehicle were arrested hours apart from each other in La Porte County.

 

Late in the morning on Tuesday, La Porte County Police said the car was pulled over for traveling partially on the shoulder of the Indiana Toll Road near Rolling Prairie.  The driver was allowed to go, but the passenger, Billy Santiago, 45, of New York City was arrested on a warrant for violating parole.

 

Several hours later, police said the 39 year old driver, Carlos Velez-Angulo, also from New York City was again pulled over on the Indiana Toll Road near Rolling Prairie for erratic driving and fled on foot, running across the eastbound and westbound lanes.  He was captured later that evening.

 

Police said vacuum sealed packages of an undisclosed narcotic were recovered from the vehicle.
