Southern Indiana – A Michigan man was arrested after a high-speed chase on I-65 southbound in Scott County early Wednesday morning.
Indiana State Police in Versailles received a report of a speeding car south of Seymour just after 4 a.m. The car, a blue 2015 Ford Focus, had no headlights or taillights on. Officers clocked it traveling at 118 mph.
Sergeant Tracy Spencer observed the speeding vehicle near the 35-mile marker. When he attempted to stop the driver, identified as Joseph Lee Strain, 55, from Hudsonville, Michigan, Strain refused to slow down. He allegedly turned off his emergency flashers and sped through the emergency lane.
As Strain approached the 32-mile marker, the car’s lights came back on, and he pulled over. Strain was arrested without incident.
He faces charges of resisting law enforcement, reckless driving, and possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Strain is being held at Scott County Jail.
