Two Arrested After 89-Mile Chase that Ended in Gibson County
MONROE AND GIBSON COUNTIES — A man and a woman were arrested Tuesday after an 89-mile chase that ended in Gibson County.
Indiana State Police tried to stop a pickup truck for speeding on I-69 near the 117 mile-marker after 9:45 a.m.
The driver refused to stop and kept speeding. Several times during the chase, troopers saw the driver and passenger throw a substance from inside the pickup.
State Police and Gibson County Sheriff’s Deputies deployed stop sticks near the 39 mile-marker. As a result, at least two tires on the pickup were deflated. However, the driver kept driving until another trooper performed a Precision Immobilitation Technique, which caused the pickup to leave the road and stop.
Officers found some meth inside the truck as well.
Both 27-year-old Geonovan M. Bailey and 25-year-old Tiona E. Monie Sullivan, both from Evansville, were taken to the Monroe County Jail. They face charges, including:
- Resisting Law Enforcement (Level 6 Felony)
- Possession of Meth (Level 6 Felony)
- Obstruction of Justice (Level 6 Felony)
