Warsaw man leads police on high-speed chase after shoplifting

WARSAW, Ind. (WOWO) – A Warsaw man is behind bars after leading police on a high-speed chase Sunday.

Police responded to the Walmart in Warsaw just after 11:30 Sunday morning for a shoplifting complaint. When they arrived, Walmart security told police the suspect had fled the store in a red Suzuki.

An officer found the car driving in the parking lot and tried to stop 44-year-old Ridley Brown, but he took off on U.S. 30, reaching speeds of over 100 mph.

After turning on County Road 800 West, Brown hit a tire deflation device and drove on damaged tires for several miles before finally stopping.

Brown faces charges of resisting law enforcement, reckless driving, possession of marijuana, theft and violating parole.
