A suspect fled an attempted traffic stop and was involved in a hit-and-run before being caught on Wednesday.

According to the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office a straffic stop was attempted by Winamac Police.  The suspect vehicle, a black SUV, fled the scene.  The Pulaski County Sheriff's Office responded to aid the Winamac officer.  Due to poor weather at the time, officers lost sight of the vehicle.

The sheriff's office soon received a 911 about a hit-and-run with a vehicle matching the SUV's description at the Broken Arrow Campground entrance. The SUV was soon located.  It had been abandoned.

The Pualski County Canine Unit, Pulaski County deputies and North Judson Police conducted a track to locate the suspect.  James Nine was eventually found and arrested without further incident.

Nine had active felony arrest warrants out of Pulaski County.
