DELAWARE COUNTY, Ind. — A state trooper making a traffic stop near Muncie Wednesday learned the driver of the car was wanted in connection with a homicide.
Trooper Corey Bell stopped a red Ford Focus for allegedly speeding on U.S. 35 near Mt. Pleasant around 4 p.m. Subsequently, police learned the driver, 20-year-old Teddy Donnell Cozart, was being sought by Alabama authorities.
According to an ISP spokesperson, there had been a warrant issued in Andalusia, Alabama, stemming from an incident in late 2022 where a man was shot and killed while leaving an apartment complex.
Cozart was held at the Delaware County Jail and is awaiting extradition proceedings.
The investigation is ongoing.
