Police Arrest Suspect in Area Hotel Robberies

It turns out the man a Shipshewana police officer was chasing Sunday is a suspect in a string of hotel robberies in Fremont, LaGrange and Shipshewana. A Michigan jail is holding the 45-year-old Michigan man pending extradition back to Indiana. As Q101 reported yesterday, the Shipshewana officer lost control of his squad car while chasing the man Sunday. It hit a tree and flipped over, totaling the car. The officer suffered minor injuries.
