A Coatsville man is in custody after a pursuit with a stolen vehicle Tuesday.

Just after 4 pm, Columbus Police were alerted to a stolen vehicle by a Flock Safety camera. Officers found the Kia Soul that had been reported stolen in Greencastle the day before.

Officers attempted to stop the car near Williamsburg Way and Taylor Road, but the driver sped up and tried to get away. CPD officers chased the car onto 25th Street and then northbound on Marr Road. The driver lost control of the Kia and went into the field near Marr Road and Sawin Drive where the car became stuck. Officers then set up a perimeter and were able to safely take the driver and two passengers into custody.

The driver was identified as Dylan Peach, 18. He was taken to the Bartholomew County Jail and arrested for the preliminary charges of:
• Theft of a motor vehicle, a level 6 felony
• Resisting law enforcement in a vehicle, a level 6 felony
• Operating a vehicle without obtaining a license, a C misdemeanor

The two passengers were juveniles and released to their parents.
