ANDERSON, IN - According to intial reports,  Anderson Undercover Drug Officers made a drug purchase off an 18-year old drug dealer and then tried to arrest him Thursday.

The unnamed male sped through the city while trying to evade police. According to statements from the Anderson Undercover Drug Officers, the chase was called off at one point after the suspect started endangering the lives of citizens.

The suspect continued to flee, though, and eventually jumped the curb to the St. John's Ambulatory Services Center, tore through some bushes, mowed down signs and crashed into the rear of Chuck Bowden's duty vehicle across the street from St. John's Anderson Center.

The suspect then fled the scene but was apprehended after a brief foot chase that lasted approximately 2 blocks. It was purported that the suspect was in possession of an AK-47 assault rifle at the time of his capture.

No further details at this time.
