It was a wild series of events for Hamilton County law enforcement that ended in downtown Fishers, causing 116th Street to be blocked for a time Monday.
According to WISH-TV News, it all started when a Hamilton County Sheriff’s deputy attempted to pull a car over near Riverwood Avenue and 211st Street, near the White River about a mile northeast of Noblesville. Police say the driver ran off. The deputy’s attempt to stop the driver with a Taser did not work.
Authorities say the man later broke into a house, stole a set of keys and a wallet, and then stole a car parked outside.
After the suspect drove away, police from Noblesville and Fishers joined the chase. Officers say the suspect was involved in three minor crashes along State Road 37 before wrecking into the Community Health Network building on 116th Street in downtown Fishers. The road was closed during the afternoon rush-hour as police investigated.
The driver was taken to a Noblesville hospital with injuries not believed to be life- threatening. No word yet on what charges may be filed.
