A car chase began in North Webster and didn’t end until the suspect reached Whitley County.

Kosciusko County Sergeant Chad Hill tells News Now Warsaw their agency was pursuing a potentially stolen construction or cargo trailer that was being pulled by a Chevy Silverado pickup truck.

The pursuit ensued into Noble County, and eventually into Whitley. Sergeant Hill says stop sticks, a tire deflation device deployed by law enforcement, struck the suspect’s pickup and/or trailer tires twice.

The chase ended at State Road 205 and Whitley County Road 200 N. 31-year-old Kimbert Alvin Crafton of Nappanee was arrested afterwards. He’s initially charged with resisting/fleeing law enforcement, reckless driving, felony theft, and felony burglary.

In addition, Crafton is also believed to have stolen an ATV from Mississippi. Detectives have since recovered that vehicle and believe Crafton may have more stolen items at a storage building in North Webster.
