33-year-old Daniel Montero initially evaded police after the high-speed chase on Thursday, reportedly ditching his vehicle at 18th and Hackley streets and fleeing on foot.

Montero's evasion was short-lived, however, as Muncie police located Montero in an apartment on West Powers Street Saturday where he was arrested and charged with criminal recklessness.

According to Muncie police, the Thursday night pursuit occurred around 11:20 p.m. after an off-duty police officer became involved in the high-speed chase. Despite Montero reportedly firing a gun out his window toward police, Muncie police stated neither officers or police vehicles were struck by the barrage.

The handgun believed to have been used during the crime has been uncovered during the investigation.
