(CAMBY) - The Morgan County Sheriff deputies arrested two men after they attempted to evade police in a vehicle stolen from Indianapolis.

According to Morgan County Sheriff's Department press release, the pursuit began at 4:18 p.m. on Saturday after a deputy attempted to stop a vehicle when they noticed the license plate didn't match the vehicle.

The driver of the vehicle; Devon Bline, who was wanted for a parole violation for possession of a dangerous drug; sped away from deputies on Wiser Avenue.
