EDWARDSBURG — A deputy was dragged by a vehicle when a suspect attempted to flee a traffic stop Thursday, according to the Cass County Sheriff’s Department.

Deputies responded to a theft of a travel trailer in progress on Savage Road in Marcellus Township at 11:18 p.m. Thursday. Not long after, deputies located one of the suspects driving on May Street near Adamsville Road in Edwardsburg.

While being interviewed by an Edwardsburg/Ontwa Township police deputy, the suspect fled the traffic stop and dragged one deputy for a short distance.

Deputies pursued the vehicle into Elkhart, where Elkhart City police took over the pursuit. Elkhart police arrested the suspect from the pursuit in the 24000 block of Lynn Street
in Elkhart.

Cass County deputies went to the address of the residence from which the suspect vehicle had departed and recovered the stolen trailer. Deputies also located stolen property taken from other locations in Indiana, as well as more stolen items from another residence in Marcellus.

Cass County deputies arrested two more subjects at the location for outstanding warrants and charges related to the incident.

The case remains under investigation and names of suspects will be released pending their arraignment.
