GRANT CO. – Thursday morning, a vehicle pursuit led to the arrest of Kysan Jones, 20, Fort Wayne, IN. He was incarcerated in the Grant County Jail to face criminal charges for resisting law enforcement with a motor vehicle, reckless driving, and possession of marijuana with intent to deliver.
Today at approximately 9:32 a.m., Indiana State Police Senior Trooper Eric Treon initiated a traffic stop on a 2018 Nissan Sentra that was allegedly traveling 89 miles per hour in a posted 70 miles per hour zone on northbound I-69 near the 261-mile marker. The driver of the Nissan, later identified as Jones, allegedly did not stop and led the trooper on a vehicle pursuit. The chase ended when Treon utilized a precision immobilization technique against the Nissan near the 273-mile marker.
Jones was taken into custody without further incident.
During a subsequent search of the Nissan, officers allegedly found marijuana (individually packaged), a nine-millimeter handgun, and THC vape cartridges.
Jones was medically cleared at a local hospital and then incarcerated in the Grant County Jail.
Treon was assisted with this case by Trooper Westin Shanks, Senior Trooper Jeremy Perez, Senior Trooper A.J. Coffee, and officers from the Grant County Sheriff’s Department.
