Bassett, 33, faces a slew of charges, including r<span>esisting law enforcement, a felony; o<\/span><span>perating a vehicle while intoxicated, a misdemeanor; r<\/span><span>eckless driving, a misdemeanor; operating without ever obtaining a license, a misdemeanor; leaving the scene of a crash, a misdemeanor; and felony domestic violence from a warrant in Marion County, the ISP <a href=\"https:\/\/content.govdelivery.com\/accounts\/INPOLICE\/bulletins\/313587b\">said<\/a> in a press release.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p><span>The incident began around 7:40 p.m. on Tuesday when Trooper Austin Fowler encountered a blue vehicle with an expired license plate near mile marker 36 on Interstate 70, authorities said.\u00a0<\/span>Fowler initiated a traffic stop prompting the automobile to pull over in the emergency lane, and the trooper immediately observed illegal activity after making contact with Bassett, according to the ISP.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Ride from Good Samaritan Brings Pursuit Suspect Back to Police <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/793TkPvMAf\">https:\/\/t.co\/793TkPvMAf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Indiana State Police (@IndStatePolice) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IndStatePolice\/status\/1514369365919031311?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 13, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe driver was then asked to exit the vehicle; however, the driver disregarded Trooper Fowler\u2019s verbal request and drove away, traveling westbound on Interstate 70,\u201d the release states.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Fowler jumped back in his patrol vehicle and began pursuing Basset, who eventually maneuvered an illegal u-turn near mile marker 35, striking a semi-tractor trailer in the process, police noted. The ISP said Basset then started heading eastbound on the interstate and eclipsed speeds of more than 110 miles per hour before one of the vehicles\u2019 front tires blew out.<\/p>\n<p>Bassett then ditched his automobile and continued fleeing on foot, while Fowler exited his patrol car, loudly giving \u201cverbal commands\u201d to the suspect, who ignored them, according to authorities. Fowler continued his chase on foot, and additional troopers from the Putnamville ISP post subsequently arrived on the scene, the release notes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA good samaritan, traveling on County Road 900 South, saw the suspect walking and offered him a ride,\u201d the ISP stated. \u201cUnbeknownst to the suspect, the good samaritan, thinking he needed help, took the male back to where the police were located.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The suspect realized what was happening as they neared police and fled the moving vehicle, according to authorities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaster Trooper Todd Brown, who was in the immediate area, was able to take the male suspect into custody,\u201d the ISP said.<\/p>\n<p>Police said he showed signs of impairment, but Bassett refused to take a certified chemical test. He is being held without bond at Putnam County Jail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Indianapolis man who was evading police was finally arrested after he accepted a ride from a good Samaritan who brought him to law enforcement, thinking the suspect needed help,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1439351","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1439351","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1439351"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1439351\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1439351"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1439351"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1439351"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
