MORGAN COUNTY, Ind. — An early morning Morgan County police chase ended with two people being arrested on gun and drug charges after officers found meth and guns in their car.
Nolan Collins, 28, of Martinsville – the alleged driver in the pursuit – was booked into jail and charged with meth possession, unlawful handgun possession, resisting law enforcement, driving while suspended and more. The passenger – 24-year-old Kaylynn Thompson of Bloomington – faces meth and marijuana charges.
The two were arrested after an early morning police pursuit throughout Morgan County. A sheriff’s deputy was patrolling around 3:45 a.m. Friday near the intersection of E. Washington Street and Home Avenue in Martinsville when he reportedly saw a car commit a traffic violation.
The driver of the Toyota Corolla reportedly turned off the lights and continued southbound on Grant Street. The deputy followed behind the Corolla and reportedly saw the driver quickly accelerate westbound on Walnut Street after turning the car’s lights back on.
The deputy then attempted to pull over the driver, but police said he “failed to comply.” Rather, Collins reportedly tried to evade the deputy through several streets and one yard.
