Two from Greene County arrested by Vigo County Deputy on numerous drug charges after chase

VIGO COUNTY, Ind. - On Thursday, August 9, at approximately 9:45 p.m., Vigo County Sheriff’s Deputy McBride was on routine patrol in Southern Vigo County when he observed a gray S40 Volvo passenger car traveling Southbound on US Highway 41, just south of Dallas Drive.

Deputy McBride observed the vehicle to be spontaneously shifting lanes without using the required turn signals indicating a lane change, and the Indiana license plate displayed did not match the vehicle he was following.

Deputy McBride attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle southbound on US 41, however, the vehicle continued traveling southbound on US 41 before turning eastbound onto Harlan Drive.

The vehicle then accelerated through the parking lot of the Country Mark gas station located at 9950 South US 41. The vehicle's path was halted by a series of trees.
Deputy McBride was able to successfully detain one male occupant before the driver, who was observed as a white female, exited the driver's side of the vehicle and fled on foot.

The driver was later identified as Mallory M. Frye, of Jasonville.
