Police Chase Ends In An Arrest
BOURBON — An attempted traffic stop resulted in a police chase through four counties and speeds over 100 miles per hour. The driver, Daniel R. Nifong, Plymouth, was taken into custody and charged with resisting law enforcement, forgery for having a homemade paper license plate and driving while suspended with a prior conviction. He was held on a $2,000 cash bond in the Marshall County Jail.
Events began just after 2 a.m. Saturday, June 18, when Bourbon Police Officer Matt Geiger attempted to stop an older white Honda at SR 331 and SR 10 for several traffic violations. The driver, later identified as Nifong, led police on a 60-mile chase through four counties with speeds over 100 miles per hour. Nifong went from Marshall County to Kosciusko County, back to Marshall and then through Fulton County to Wabash County where stop sticks were deployed. Nifong eventually lost all four tires and spun out into a grassy area on SR 13, just south of SR 114, where he was placed into custody without incident.
Nifong had his sister as a passenger in the vehicle. She was released at the scene.
