Suspect arrested after Culver pursuit spans three counties, damages police vehicle

A man was taken into custody Monday after leading police on a 30 minute pursuit that spanned three counties.

 

A report was made to the Culver Police Department around 5:30pm Monday about a hit and run by a silver passenger car in the Culver area. The victim of the hit and run was said to still be following the suspect. 

 

After a Culver Police Department officer attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver reportedly fled. Officers were led on a half an hour pursuit that traveled through parts of Fulton, Pulaski and Marshall counties. During the chase, officers deployed tire deflation devices multiple times, which partially disabled the suspect's vehicle but still did not stop him. It was reported the suspect's vehicle also came into contact with a Culver officer's vehicle three times during the chase, causing damage. 

 

The driver, identified as Christian Sanderson, 21, of Monterey, was eventually taken into custody at the intersection of State Road 10 and Lakeshore Drive in Culver. He was booked into the Marshall County Jail on preliminary charges of resisting law enforcement with a vehicle, operating a vehicle without ever receiving a license, and leaving the scene of an accident.

 

Sanderson is also being held for another agency for an active felony warrant.
