Indiana State Police said a Chicago driver was arrested Monday on multiple charges following a chase through three counties on I-65 in southern Indiana.

Shortly before 8 a.m. Monday, officers with the Scottsburg Police Department received a report of a possible robbery at a Scott County gas station. Information was quickly sent out to surrounding law enforcement agencies to observe for the black Volkswagen SUV with Tennessee registration and the male suspect, state police said.

At approximately 8:10 a.m., Seymour police observed the vehicle on I-65 northbound near the 50 mile marker in Jackson County. Officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle but the driver, later determined to be Mekyell Brown-Champion, 25, Chicago, fled in the vehicle northbound at a high rate of speed, state police said.

Troopers with the Indiana State Police-Versailles Post and officers from multiple other agencies soon assisted with the pursuit of the vehicle. Brown-Champion continued northbound into Bartholomew County, where he exited I-65 onto State Road 46 at Columbus. He traveled westbound on State Road 46 before ultimately turning around and attempting to get back onto I-65 southbound.

While traveling on the on-ramp, Trooper Randel Miller conducted a Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT) Maneuver. The action caused the vehicle to spin around and become disabled, safely ending the pursuit. Brown-Champion was soon taken into custody.

Brown-Champion was found to be wanted on a warrant out of Illinois. The vehicle had been reported stolen out of Nashville, Tennessee recently. Scottsburg Police Department Investigators arrested him and transported him back to the Scott County Jail where he was incarcerated on initial charges of robbery, criminal trespass, and battery.

Additional charges in Jackson and Bartholomew Counties are possible.
