Woman leads police chase, drives home
NASHVILLE – A 38-year-old Bloomington woman Allison Noble has been charged with a level 6 felony for resisting law enforcement.
On Aug. 5, Sheriff Deputy Jeffery Dames was contacted by Department of Child Services (DCS) Caseworker Timothy Krieg referencing the removal of four children from a home in the 3300 block of Shepherd Road. Dames and Sheriff’s Deputy Cody Loncaric left the station and followed Krie to Noble’s residence. They knocked several times, never getting a response before heading to Brown County High School because of an event at the school. The officers allegedly thought Noble might be attending the event with her children.
Noble had a 2023 white Volkswagen Atlas registered to her, and Loncaric asked dispatch to attempt to locate it. He also searched her name with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and found that she has a valid regular identification card, but not a driver’s license.
The officers began driving to the school, while on State Road 135 Loncaric observed Noble’s vehicle, signaling Dames who was still in the driveway. The vehicle pulled into the driveway and Dames identified the driver as Noble.
He explained why he was at the residence and asked Noble to step out of the vehicle. She refused and left the residence with her children.
Loncaric attempted to perform a traffic stop, turning on his lights and signaling for Noble to pull over but she continued driving. She kept driving until she turned into the Van Buren School parking lot.
Dames and Loncaric initiated a felony stop because of Noble’s refusal to pull over, with their guns drawn. Noble refused to exit the vehicle.
Loncaric holstered his gun in an attempt to de-escalate the situation and asked for her cooperation. Noble refused to exit the vehicle, told the officers she was going home and fled the scene.
The deputies returned to Noble’s residence to assist Krieg and Noble refused to speak with DCS until a female caseworker came to the house. Krieg located a family friend that could keep the children until further notice.
Morgantown man flees residence into wood line
MORGANTOWN TWP. – A 31-year-old Morgantown man Nathan Harris has been charged with two level 6 felonies for possession of a narcotic drug and unlawful possession of a syringe; a class A misdemeanor for resisting law enforcement and a class C misdemeanor for possession of paraphernalia.
On Aug. 4, Morgan County Sergeant Kyle Seward located an outstanding warrant for Harris located in the 9100 block of Old Haggard Road. Seward and Morgan County Sheriff’s Deputy Marshal Dustin White proceeded to the address and were met by an older male who allegedly told the officers he would bring Harris to the door.
Seward began walking around the side of the residence when he observed a man matching Harris’ description running from the house to the wood line. Seward chased Harris into the woods and yelled for him to stop running or he would be tased. Harris allegedly ignored the commands and continued running until he fell down a hill.
According to the report, Harris stood up and appeared as if he were going to walk toward Seward before he fell again. When Harris attempted to run, Seward tased him. Harris rolled onto his stomach and was placed in handcuffs.
Seward searched Harris and located a teaspoon that contained burn markings on the top and bottom, a piece of cotton and seven used syringes one of which contained a small amount of a clear substance. According to the report, Harris told the officers that the clear liquid in the syringe was water that he was going to use for the heroin and fentanyl in the spoon. He also allegedly stated that he knew he had an active warrant, the officers were at his residence and that Seward was going to activate his taser but ran anyway.
Harris was checked out by emergency medical staff before being transported to IU Health Morgan Hospital to obtain a jail clearance for his outstanding warrant.
