Westchester Township, IN - A pursuit that started in Porter ended when a police officer executed a Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT) maneuver, forcing the vehicle into a farm field in Westchester Township Wednesday night.

Matthew Mocabee, 21, of Portage, was charged with a Level 6 felony of resisting law enforcement and misdemeanor charges of possession of marijuana and reckless driving.

The situation started around 8:30 p.m. when a Porter Police officer attempted to stop a motorist, who had been seen tailgating and passing other vehicles on a double-yellow line around the 700 block of North Waverly Road.

Mocabee, who was driving a 2004 Dodge Neon, kept going and turned eastbound on U.S. 20, police said.

The chase wound down country roads in Westchester and Pine townships and reached speeds in excess of 100 mph.

It was in the area of Burdick Road and County Road 575 East that the police officer executed the PIT maneuver that pushed the Neon into the field.

Mocabee wasn’t hurt and offered no resistance when he was arrested. The Porter County Sheriff’s Office also assisted in the arrest.
