WABASH COUNTY, Ind. (WANE) — Thursday, a man was arrested and charged after being caught following a car chase and foot pursuit.
45-year-old David Odham had active warrants out for his arrest in multiple counties. Indiana State Police were searching for him when an officer located his car and identified Odham as the driver near the area of CR 200 E and CR 1000 S in Lafontaine.

On top of his two previous warrants, he faces preliminary charges of:
- Resisting Law Enforcement with a Vehicle- Level 6 Felony
- Criminal Mischief- A Misdemeanor
- Aggressive Driving- A Misdemeanor
- Possession of Marijuana- B Misdemeanor
