Chicago man arrested after pursuit from Fulton into Miami County

A Chicago man fled from a Fulton County traffic stop and led officers on a pursuit at over 100 miles per hour.

Just before 11 p.m. Tuesday, Fulton County Sheriff K-9 Deputy Ryan Utter initiated a traffic stop near 500 S and US 31 for observed traffic infractions. While Deputy Utter was speaking with the driver, the driver fled from the stop and drove at a high rate of speed reaching over 110 mph. Deputy Utter pursued the vehicle.

As the vehicle continued south into Miami County, deputies from Miami County and the Indiana State Police assisted and deployed stop sticks. The vehicle struck the sticks causing the vehicle to slow and then drove into the median near US 31 and 100 N. The driver was taken into custody without further incident and identified as Derrich Moore, Jr., 36, of Chicago. He was later taken to Woodlawn Hospital for medical clearance before being lodged in the Fulton County Jail.

Moore was charged with Resisting Law Enforcement with a Vehicle, Operating a Vehicle Never Having Received a License, Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated with Endangerment, Reckless Driving, Aggressive Driving, Possession of Marijuana, Possession of a Narcotic Drug, and Criminal Recklessness, as well as several traffic citations.
