FISHERS, Ind. — A suspect is facing several preliminary charges after police discovered four pounds of meth and a stolen gun following a police chase through Fishers over the weekend.
The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office said a deputy was attempting to conduct a traffic stop on Interstate 69 when the driver refused to stop and led police on a chase through the city.

- Unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon
- Dealing in methamphetamine
- Dealing in cocaine
- Theft of a firearm
- Resisting law enforcement (vehicle and foot)
- Possession of meth, cocaine and marijuana
The Hamilton County Prosecutor's Office will make final charging decisions in the case.
