An initial police pursuit was ended Monday due to public safety but the suspect was eventually apprehended at a Shelbyville home.
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. The driver of the SUV did not stop and a police pursuit ensued. During the pursuit, speeds increased and it was decided that the pursuit would be terminated for the safety of the public.
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.
Officers then spoke with the homeowner who gave permission to look for the male driver inside the residence. The man was located inside and identified as Austin Stacy.
Stacy was searched prior to his arrest and two small bags of a white crystal-like substance was located.
Stacy was charged with Level 4 Felony Possession of Meth due to enhancing circumstances, Level 5 Felony for Resisting Law Enforcement due to previous convictions, criminal recklessness (B Misdemeanor), and reckless driving (C Misdemeanor).
