High Speed Pursuit in Hardin County Ends with the Arrest of Two Logan County Residents

Two Logan County residents were arrested after a high speed pursuit in Hardin County Monday evening.

According to a release from the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office, a deputy attempted to stop a vehicle that was traveling at a high rate of speed and went left of center on State Route 235 near Township Road 140 in Roundhead Township.

Instead of stopping, the driver of the 2017 Honda sped away and continued at rates of speed on both State and County Routes.

Due to the risk of harm to the public, Deputies executed a pursuit termination technique maneuver near the intersection of Co Rd 75 and Co Rd 110.  

The maneuver was successful, and the vehicle was stopped.

The driver, Andrea Stevens, was taken into custody for No operator’s license, Failure to Comply with the order or Signal of a Police Officer, vandalism, possession of drugs, as well as numerous other traffic violations.  

She was checked by USV EMS at the scene but refused medical transport.  

The passenger in the vehicle, Shawn Stevens, was arrested for an unrelated warrant.  

 He was transported to Hardin Memorial Hospital for suspected minor injuries.

Both were later transported to the Multi County Jail in Marion.
