Last updated on Thursday, July 28, 2016

(SULLIVAN) - A wanted man escaped police after a pursuit in Sullivan County.

Indiana State Trooper Brad Miller saw a vehicle driven by 25-year-old Dakota Ray Montgomery of Farmersburg. The trooper knew Montgomery was wanted on a warrant for a probation violation and attempted a traffic stop when Montgomery sped away.

Montgomery led the trooper in a chase from from U.S. 41 to State Road 48 near Sullivan County Roads 950 North and 300 East. Montgomery then stopped the vehicle and fled on foot.

Multiple troopers, Sullivan County officers and K9 units from Clay County along with Jasonville Police and the Vigo County EMA's searched until about 9:25 p.m. Tuesday and then called off the manhunt.

Montgomery remains at large.

Anyone with information on Montgomery's location is asked to call Indiana State Police.
