A Marion County man was arrested on six felony and misdemeanor charges after leading officers on a vehicle and foot pursuit Tuesday morning in Jackson and Scott counties.

Nicholas Nature Lewis, 20, of Indianapolis faces Level 6 felony charges of battery to a public safety officer with a vehicle, resisting law enforcement with a vehicle and receiving stolen property after the pursuit that ended on the north side of Austin.

Lewis also faces a Class A misdemeanor charge of resisting law enforcement on foot and Class B misdemeanor charges of leaving the scene of an accident and criminal recklessness with a vehicle.

The incident that led to Lewis’ arrest began when the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department reported a maroon Dodge Charger SRT was stolen and believed to be southbound on Interstate 65, according to a news release from Sgt. Carey Huls.

Huls, the public information officer for the Indiana State Police Sellersburg Post, said IMPD also reported a handgun was possibly in the vehicle.

Around 7:50 a.m., Sgt. Stephen Wheeles with the Versailles Post reported he spotted the car and was following it southbound near the Seymour exit at U.S. 50. Wheeles said when he attempted to stop the car along with Trooper Korry Clark and a Seymour Police Department officer, the vehicle sped away at an extremely high rate of speed.

The officers gave chase and tried to catch up with the vehicle but lost sight of the Charger in southern Jackson County, Huls said.

An Indiana State Excise Police officer soon spotted the car as the driver attempted to get fuel at a gas station at the Crothersville exit; however, the driver was unsuccessful and sped away southbound on U.S. 31 into Scott County.

Master Trooper Mark LaMaster from the Sellersburg Post then spotted and tried to stop the Charger as it approached Booe Road, where Crothersville Police Department K-9 and Austin Police Department units attempted to set up stop sticks, Huls said.

As the Charger continued south, it collided with the Crothersville police truck, and the vehicles came to rest on the southwest side of the intersection of U.S. 31 and Booe Road. Neither the Crothersville officer nor his K-9 were injured in the crash.

The driver, later identified as Lewis, then fled on foot along nearby railroad tracks.

LaMaster and officers from Seymour and Austin gave chase and apprehended the driver a short time later, Huls said.

Lewis was medically cleared at the scene and then incarcerated at the Scott County Detention Center in Scottsburg.

Officers have not currently located a firearm.

Indiana conservation officers assisted in the pursuit and investigation.
