LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A man and woman are facing charges after a multi-county pursuit in southern Indiana.
According to Indiana State Police, officers with Seymour Police responded to Home Depot in Seymour around 3 p.m. following reports of an attempted theft.
They said when officers arrived, the suspects left the scene in a U-Haul box truck.
Seymour officers tried to stop the vehicle as it merged on to I-65 South, but eventually evolved into a pursuit where the vehicle fled south through Jackson County.
Police said while in Jackson County, 36-year-old suspect Chad Money of New Albany, drove the U-Haul through the median and continued to flee southbound while in the northbound lands of I-65 into oncoming traffic.
ISP said a trooper with the Versailles Post entered the median crossover near the 34-mile marker in northern Scott County. That trooper tried to place a tire deflation device on the roadway in the path of the truck. That’s when Money drove through the median towards the trooper. Police said the trooper fired a shot from his handgun in direction of the vehicle.
Neither Money or his passenger, 36-year-old Jessica Holliday of New Albany, were struck or injured.
Police said Money went back into the southbound lanes of I-65, fleeing through Scott County into Clark County. The vehicle eventually came to a stop on the interstate near the nine-mile marker around Sellersburg.
Money and Holliday were taken into custody.
Both Money and Holliday had felony warrants out of Clark County, according to ISP. Police said Holliday had a protection order against Money at the time of this incident. According to arrest records, marijuana and drug paraphernalia were also found in the U-Haul.
Money is facing multiple felony charges including invasion of privacy, criminal recklessness with a vehicle and resisting law enforcement.
Holliday faces misdemeanor charges of possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia.
These charges are in addition to their warrants.
Both are being held at the Clark County Jail.
