LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — A stolen delivery truck taken from a Louisville cancer institute led police on a pursuit into southern Indiana Saturday morning before ending in a K-9 arrest in Clarksville, authorities said.
The incident began around 10 a.m. March 28 when the Louisville Metro Police Department alerted the Jeffersonville Police Department about a stolen truck being tracked electronically toward the area.
An officer spotted the vehicle and attempted a traffic stop, but the driver, identified as Christopher Spencer, fled at a high rate of speed into Clarksville, Indiana.
Authorities said the chase ended when the truck became stuck near a floodwall after the driver tried to go off-road. Spencer was taken into custody following a brief struggle involving officers and a K-9 unit.
He was booked into the Clark County Jail on charges including motor vehicle theft, resisting law enforcement with a vehicle, resisting law enforcement, criminal mischief, criminal recklessness, and reckless driving.
Indiana State Police and the Clark County Sheriff’s Department assisted in the response.
