EVANSVILLE, IN (WFIE) -

A man is arrested in Madisonville after a short police chase.

According to our media partner 'The Messenger,' 56-year-old Ricky Johnson was spotted by an officer Tuesday night around 11 on Center Street. Johnson's car matched a description given out by Providence Police Department earlier that day.

Officer Paul Haynie identified the vehicle's license plate and attempted to pull Johnson over, but instead Johnson kept going and even ran a stop sign.

Haynie finally caught up with Johnson on Laffoon Trail just a few minutes later.

Johnson was arrested and charged with second degree fleeing or evading police among other charges.
