COLUMBUS, Ind. – A Wisconsin man, on Sunday morning, led Indiana State Police (ISP) troopers on a pursuit through two counties before being taken into custody on multiple charges in Columbus.
The incident began at 8:45 a.m. when a trooper clocked a car, traveling over 100 mph, on northbound I-65 near the 51-mile marker in Jackson County. ISP tried to catch up to the vehicle, but it accelerated in an attempt to elude him.
Another trooper joined the pursuit at the 60-mile marker in southern Bartholomew County.
The driver, later identified as Jacob G. Wroblewski, 21, of Hales Corner, Wisconsin, continued to flee. He exited the interstate at the 64-mile marker, headed east on County Road 450S, and then north on US 31 toward Columbus. With the assistance of the Columbus Police Department, the car was finally stopped at US 31 and 25th Street. The driver was arrested without further incident.
Wroblewski was preliminarily charged with resisting law enforcement in a vehicle and reckless driving. He was incarcerated in the Bartholomew County Jail pending his initial court appearance. Wroblewski may face additional charges and citations related to the incident.
