GILEAD TOWNSHIP, MI (WTVB) – The Branch County Sheriff’s Department says a man from Kendallville, Indiana who is accused of leading police in two states on a Sunday morning chase is still at large.
Undersheriff Keith Eichler says Branch County Sheriff’s Deputies tried to make a traffic stop at about 10:48 a.m. on Bowers Road south of Southern Road in Gilead Township when the vehicle driven by 50-year-old Steven Gail Gose fled from the deputies.
32-year-old Jamie Sue Prater of Hudson, Indiana was a passenger in the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
The vehicle headed south into Indiana and crashed in Steuben County at the intersection of 800 West and 150 North near the Steuben Lakes Wastewater District Treatment Plant.
Gose and Prater then made a run for it. Prater was later apprehended and lodged by Indiana State Police in the Steuben County Jail.
Eichler says Branch County Sheriff Deputies will be seeking warrants for Gose who was recently released from the Indiana Department of Corrections on Class B and D felonies of domestic violence with strangulation and for being a habitual offender.
Anyone with information on Gose and his whereabouts should contact their local Police agency.
Branch County Sheriff’s Deputies were assisted by the Steuben and Lagrange County Sheriff’s Departments and the Indiana State Police
