VANDERBURGH CO. – Monday night, November 4, at approximately 11:30 p.m., Trooper Trey Stewart was patrolling Green River Road near Covert Avenue when he stopped the driver of a 2016 Hyundai for not wearing his seat belt.
While Trooper Stewart approached the vehicle, the driver accelerated from the traffic stop and continued east on Covert Avenue before turning south on Shoshoni Lane. The driver made a U-turn at Pollack Avenue and drove north on Shoshoni Lane and east on Covert Avenue. The driver made another U-turn near I-69 and continued west on Covert Avenue before driving south on Hicks Drive and then west on Pollack Avenue. When the driver turned north on Elmendorf Avenue, he crashed into a ditch and fled on foot.
A perimeter was established, and the driver was eventually hiding in the 3700 block of Waggoner Avenue. The driver was identified as Kevin L. Moman, 31, of Evansville. Moman was arrested without further incident. When troopers searched his vehicle, they located a small amount of a suspected narcotic substance.
