BARTHOLOMEW CO. – A driver is facing felony charges after fleeing from a Bartholomew County deputy onto Interstate 65 early Friday morning.
According to the Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Department, a deputy tried to pull over a vehicle for a traffic stop at River Road and East County Road 550 North at about 12:55 a.m. But the driver took off fleeing through northern Bartholomew County before getting on the interstate.
Franklin Police officers and Johnson County deputies used a device to deflate the vehicle’s tires near the Franklin exit, but the driver continued traveling north. A Bargersville Police caught up to the vehicle and used a maneuver to force the driver’s car to spin and stop.
The driver, 34-year-old Adam Cameron of Columbus, was detained.
Police say Cameron had self-inflicted cuts on his body. He was taken to an Indianapolis hospital for a medical evaluation. Once medically cleared, he was transported to the Bartholomew County Jail on charges of resisting law enforcement with a vehicle and being a habitual traffic violator.
Columbus, Edinburgh, and Whiteland police, along with Indiana State troopers, assisted in the incident.
