A Knox man faces numerous charges following a Thursday incident that started in Washington Township and ended in North Judson after a detour through the Bass Lake area.
Knox Police were involved in a chase in the area of 500 East and State Road 8 after Starke County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to an invasion of privacy call. They found the suspect’s black 2004 Chevrolet pickup truck heading west into Knox on State Road 8. KPD officers used stop sticks to deflate one of the truck’s tires. The driver continued on for several miles before crashing the truck into a yard at 8460 East State Road 10 in Knox and fleeing on foot.
Later that morning, the Starke County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a stolen car in the area where the crash had occurred. They followed up on a tip and found the suspect, William Allen II of Knox, at a residence in North Judson and arrested him.
He’s jailed on preliminary felony charges of resisting law enforcement and criminal recklessness along with a misdemeanor reckless driving offense from the pursuit in addition to invasion of privacy and criminal mischief charges from the initial complaint.
