Man arrested after chase, accident

A 44-year-old man was arrested Thursday morning following a short police pursuit on the northeast side of Indianapolis. Tod Spradlin was arrested on charges of fleeing and resisting law enforcement. A police officer said the chase started when he tried to stop Spradlin, driving a 1999 black Chevrolet Blazer, for a traffic violation on Fall Creek Road about 9:15 a.m. Spradlin’s vehicle reached speeds of 90 mph before wiping out  after side-swiping at least two vehicles while trying to avoid backed-up traffic at 46th Street and Binford Boulevard. Spradlin has an open warrant in Marion County for driving while intoxicated.
