On April 5th, 2022, the Michigan City Police Department was dispatched to the 1000 Block of West 9th Street by the LaPorte County Regional Dispatch Center for a suspicious vehicle chasing 2 males on foot with one subject possibly having a weapon.

Officers responded to the area and located a subject who matched the clothing description given by dispatch. An investigative stop was conducted on a 26-year-old male Michigan City resident. Through the course of this investigative stop, Officers were unable to confirm the identity of the 26-year-old male initially who gave varying names. As Officers attempted to place the male into custody, the male fled on foot running from police.

The male was transported to Franciscan Hospital in Michigan City by LaPorte County EMS so he could receive medical treatment.
