A man and woman are in custody after police said an attempted theft in Seymour led to a pursuit through three counties and ending in Clark County on Saturday.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A man and woman are facing charges after a multi-county pursuit in southern Indiana.

According to Indiana State Police, officers with Seymour Police responded to Home Depot in Seymour around 3 p.m. following reports of an attempted theft.

They said when officers arrived, the suspects left the scene in a U-Haul box truck.

Seymour officers tried to stop the vehicle as it merged on to I-65 South, but eventually evolved into a pursuit where the vehicle fled south through Jackson County.

Police said while in Jackson County, 36-year-old suspect Chad Money of New Albany, drove the U-Haul through the median and continued to flee southbound while in the northbound lands of I-65 into oncoming traffic.

ISP said a trooper with the Versailles Post entered the median crossover near the 34-mile marker in northern Scott County. That trooper tried to place a tire deflation device on the roadway in the path of the truck. That’s when Money drove through the median towards the trooper. Police said the trooper fired a shot from his handgun in direction of the vehicle.
