According to Kokomo Police Maj. Brian Seldon, officers responded to a report of a break-in and battery in the 1400 block of Dunham on Berkley.

Officers received a vehicle description and attempted to stop Bryan’s vehicle at the intersection of Philips Street and Judson Road, giving way to a car chase.
