State trooper vehicle chase ends in crash, arrest at Main and Harrison

On November 19, 2025, one individual was arrested after leading an Indiana State Police Trooper on a pursuit in Howard County.

Shortly after 2:00 a.m., ISP Sergeant Kyle Miller was patrolling near the intersection of Main Street and Markland Avenue in Kokomo, Indiana, when he noticed a 2003 Chevrolet Corvette with its headlights not illuminated. The driver was later identified as 19-year-old Ty Wanne A. Tucker from Kokomo, IN. Sgt. Miller attempted to initiate a traffic stop. However, Mr. Tucker disregarded a red light and fled at high speeds.

The pursuit continued north on Main Street to Harrison Street, where the Corvette left the roadway and struck a brick wall. Tucker was taken into custody without incident, and no injuries were reported as a result of the crash.

Further investigation revealed that Tucker had accessed an unoccupied nearby residence where the Corvette was located. He was subsequently incarcerated at the Howard County Jail.
