SOUTH WHITLEY, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) - A man sought following a high-speed chase in South Whitley has been captured.
Police say Steven Waid was arrested in Ft. Wayne around 12:30 Friday morning. He apparently led officers on a pursuit then crashed into a home on Solitude Place.
This came about 16 hours after police say Waid pulled a gun on another man during an altercation at a South Whitley gas station Thursday morning.
He then fled in an SUV which prompted a police pursuit through the town. He wrecked that vehicle, then ran back to the gas station, allegedly stole a truck and drove off.
Schools in South Whitley were on lockdown for hours after the pursuit.
Waid now faces criminal charges in Whitley and Allen counties.
