(La Porte County, IN) - A man is accused of leading police on a high speed chase on a motorcycle in La Porte County. Justin Austin got away but, eventually, he was caught. He’s scheduled for an initial hearing Friday in La Porte Circuit Court on a charge of resisting law enforcement.
In late June, La Porte County Police said Austin, 32, was doing circles on the roundabout at Indiana 2 and U.S. 20 on a Harley Davidson motorcycle. The officer after discovering his license was suspended tried making a traffic stop, but the South Bend man fled at speeds topping 120 miles per hour, police said. Eventually, police said the westbound chase was terminated a few miles down the road.
