Lake County Sheriff Oscar Martinez will be on the May primary election ballot while still facing charges for allegedly resisting law enforcement and reckless driving.
The SUV continued onto Taft Street in Merrillville, passing the stopped officers. In seeing the speeding violation, officers attempted to catch up to curb the vehicle, according to a police report.
The indictment states that Martinez “did knowingly or intentionally flee” from Crown Point police and that he “did recklessly operate a motor vehicle by driving at such an unreasonably high rate of speed as to endanger the safety or property of others.”
