Evansville Police arrested two men following a car chase on the east side. The incident began around 11:35am on Friday when officers were sent the Walmart at 401 N Burkhardt for two shoplifters.
Officers arrived as Jason Wilkinson (32) and Wesley Sellner (23) were leaving in a silver Dodge Charger. Police later determined Wilkinson was the driver. Officers tried to pull them over, but they fled in the car. Officers pursued them through the area of Virginia and Cross Point until Wilkinson’s driving became too aggressive. Due to Wilkinson’s driving, the pursuit was terminated a supervisor.Â
About one minute after the pursuit ended, a citizen called 911 about a crash in the 1400 block of N. Royal Ave. The silver dodge had been wrecked and the two men had ran into a field. A witness stopped Sellner in the field and kept him there until police arrived. An officer found Wilkinson a short time later. Both were arrested without further incident.
Police confirmed the two men were the shoplifting suspects from Walmart. Police also determined the car had been reported stolen in Chandler IN on January 15th. Wilkinson had an active misdemeanor warrant and Sellner had an active felony warrant.Â
Both men will be booked into the Vanderburgh County Jail on multiple charges related to these events.
