Video: Ind. Police Officer Struck Deploying Stop Sticks During Chase
A Mooresville police officer also tried deploying stop sticks near Brooklyn. He was struck when the suspect swerved to avoid the stop sticks.
The officer was rushed to the hospital and later released. Mooresville Police Chief Kerry Buckner told WTHR-TV that the officer suffered a broken thumb and sprains, and he will recover at home.
"He's a little shaken up, but physically, he's good," Mooresville Police Officer Andrew Ballard told WTHR.
The chase continued into Hendricks County, but it was ended near Camby when authorities felt it was posing a danger to the public.
“Mooresville is a small department, and hearing something like that come across the radio, it would worry you because we're all so close here," said Ballard. "It's like having a brother get injured, or a sister get injured. It's nothing you ever want to see.”
