Sunman man facing charges in two-county police chase

Lawrenceburg, IN — A week after allegedly leading police on a chase from Lawrenceburg to Ripley County, formal charges have been filed against a Sunman man.

32-year-old Vincent Harris is in the Dearborn County Law Enforcement Center, charged with three counts of Attempted Battery against a Public Safety Official, Resisting Law Enforcement (both Level 6 felonies), and Reckless Driving (Class C misdemeanor).

Police say on January 5, Harris refused to pull over during a traffic stop on US 50.

The chase started and continued into Aurora where court documents indicate Harris drove his truck into a police cruiser and traveled in the wrong direction on US 50.

The chase ended on Legion Road south of Batesville.

Investigators say Harris refused to get out of the truck but was removed through the use of a police K9.
