Traffic Stop Leads to Attempted Assault of Trooper - Manhunt Ensues 
Mitchell - Just before 9:30 am, an Indiana State Police Trooper conducted a traffic stop on a green Chevrolet S10 pickup truck for a traffic violation. After initially refusing to stop, the driver led the Trooper to the Lehigh Cement Plant near Mitchell. Once the pickup stopped, the driver waited for the Trooper to walk up, when without warning, the driver attempted to run over the Trooper.
The Trooper was not hit and proceeded to give chase to the pickup. The pickup truck was located shortly thereafter, unoccupied near the Lehigh Plant, off of Meridian Street just north of US60.
Currently, the Indiana State Police along with local law enforcement are looking for two unidentified white males that had occupied the S10. The only description available is two white males, unkempt and unshaven.
Updates to follow as more descriptors become available. The Indiana State Police at the Bloomington Post is asking for any information regarding this case.
Please call (812) 332-4411. All tips will remain anonymous.
