A pursuit that began Sunday morning just north of Seymour ended in Columbus with the arrest of a Wisconsin man on criminal charges.
The incident that led to the arrest of Jacob G. Wroblewski, 21, of Hales Corner started at about 8:45 a.m. when Master Trooper Gary Thalls spotted a 2009 BMW passenger car traveling northbound in excess of 100 miles per hour, according to a news release from Indiana State Police Sgt. Stephen Wheeles. That was near the 51 mile marker on Interstate 65
Wheeles, public information officer for the Versailles Post, said Thalls attempted to stop the vehicle, but the motorist accelerated in an attempt to elude him.
Senior Trooper Korry Clark also saw the same vehicle traveling northbound near the 60 mile marker in southern Bartholomew County at speeds well in excess of 100 mph, Wheeles said. Troopers also observed the registration plate on the vehicle was being intentionally concealed.
Clark and Thalls both activated their emergency lights attempting to get the vehicle to stop.
Wroblewski fled northbound on I-65 before exiting at the 64 mile marker and heading eastbound on County Road 450S in Bartholomew County. He then turned northbound on U.S. 31 before entering Columbus. With the assistance of the Columbus Police Department, the vehicle was stopped at National Road (U.S. 31) and 25th Street.
Wroblewski and the two passengers in his vehicle were taken into custody without further incident. Both of the passengers were released shortly afterwards.
Wroblewski faces preliminary charges of resisting law enforcement in a vehicle, Level 6 felony, and reckless driving, Class A misdemeanor. He was incarcerated in the Bartholomew County Jail pending his initial court appearance. Wroblewski may face additional charges and citations related to the incident, Wheeles reported.
