Kokomo, IN – A 19-year-old from Kokomo was arrested early Wednesday after allegedly fleeing Indiana State Police in a stolen Corvette, leading to a crash in Howard County.
According to the Indiana State Police–Peru District, the incident began around 2:00 a.m. near Main Street and Markland Avenue in Kokomo. ISP Sgt. Kyle Miller attempted to stop a 2003 Chevrolet Corvette driving without headlights, but the driver allegedly ignored a red light and fled northbound at high speed.
The pursuit continued onto Main Street and ended near Harrison Street, where the Corvette reportedly left the road and struck a brick wall. The driver—identified as Tywauane A. Tucker, 19—was taken into custody without incident. No injuries were reported.
Investigators say Tucker allegedly entered an unoccupied residence to access the vehicle before the pursuit began. The Corvette was later recovered, and Tucker was booked into the Howard County Jail.
He faces preliminary charges including burglary (Level 4 felony), residential entry (Level 6 felony), theft of a vehicle (Level 6 felony), resisting law enforcement with a vehicle (Level 6 felony), and operating without a license (Class C misdemeanor).
All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
