An Indianapolis man faces nine felony and misdemeanor charges after police say he fled in a stolen car and led officers on a chase through Elkhart and into Michigan.
Authorities say 44-year-old Anthony D. Jones Junior ignored a traffic stop October 30 and drove at high speed through city streets and neighborhoods, running stop signs and a traffic light. The car crashed at a roundabout near Five Points Road in Edwardsburg. Police say Jones ran from the vehicle but was caught.
Investigators say they found methamphetamine, cocaine, pills, marijuana and drug paraphernalia in the car. Jones is charged with resisting law enforcement, auto theft, drug possession, intimidation and driving while suspended and while intoxicated. His bond was set at 100-thousand dollars. The charges are allegations, and he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
