The pursuit finally came to an end at the intersection of US 52 and Depot Street.
A serious violent felon is in custody after fleeing from law enforcement.
New Palestine officers were dispatched to assist Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department regarding a vehicle pursuit involving a possibly armed serious violent felon. Officers were told that the vehicle pursuit was traveling eastbound on US 52, heading towards New Palestine.
Multiple New Palestine officers responded and were able to effectively place tire deflation devices just west of the intersection of 500 West and US 52 in attempts to end the pursuit. The stop sticks were successful in deflating all four tires on the suspect vehicle.
The pursuit finally came to an end at the intersection of US 52 and Depot Street, due to a pit maneuver being performed on the vehicle by IMPD. Responding officers were then able to take the subject, Tommie Gordon, 37, of Indianapolis, into custody without further incident.
The New Palestine Police Department reports that located inside the vehicle were illegal narcotics, as well as a shotgun. All evidence was collected by IMPD.
Out of abundance of caution, and due to the proximity of the vehicle pursuit, New Palestine Police requested that the high school go on a safe-secure status to ensure the safety of all students and staff.
