A Decatur County man was arrested Tuesday night on numerous charges after he led Indiana State Police on a short pursuit through Greensburg.

Sgt. Stephen Wheeles, spokesman for the Indiana State Police Post in Versailles, says the incident began when Trooper James Herbert attempted to stop a car on Michigan Avenue for being improperly registered. The driver, 56-year-old Dwayne Bradley, of Greensburg, allegedly fled. Authorities say that Bradley traveled down several side streets before coming to a stop on Michigan Avenue near Ireland Street. He was then taken into custody.

Upon searching the area of the traffic stop, Trooper Herbert located a bag containing approximately six grams of methamphetamine and a pipe that had been allegedly thrown from the vehicle just prior to the stop.

Bradley was arrested on preliminary charges of Possession of Methamphetamine, Obstruction of Justice, Resisting Law Enforcement and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. He is being held pending his initial court appearance in the Decatur County Circuit Court.
