On Monday, Shelbyville Police located a white SUV with a driver that was suspended. The vehicle left the initial location and the officers tried to initiate a traffic stop.

Officers were then called to the area of West Taylor Street and Miller Avenue. The complaint said there was a white SUV that almost hit several people and was driving very erratically. Officers located the vehicle parked behind a residence in the 500 block of West Taylor Street.
