indianapolis-couple-arrested-after-fleeing-from-decatur-shelby-law-enforcement
Two Indianapolis people were arrested after fleeing from law enforcement in a pursuit through Decatur and Shelby counties Tuesday night.
The couple was arrested after fleeing in a stolen car on Interstate 74 after a Decatur County deputy first noticed the vehicle was driving with only one headlight.
The driver stopped but then drove off at speeds over 100 miles per hour. Shelby County deputies used stop sticks to bring the vehicle pursuit to a close. A man and woman took an infant from the vehicle and tried to flee on foot.
Joseph Butler, 21, and Tyshiana Fultz, 22 both of Indianapolis were soon found and taken into custody. Their child was turned over to DCS.
Butler was wanted on outstanding Marion County warrants. A magazine for a firearm was found in the vehicle and a search of the area where he tried to flee on foot resulted in the finding of the gun the magazine belonged to.
Butler is charged with unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon, neglect of a dependent and resisting law enforcement. Fultz was also charged with resisting law enforcement and neglect of a dependent.
