A felony suspect caught by police after a 90-mph chase through two Indiana counties Tuesday told arresting officers he was just trying to get a burrito before going to jail.
Officers from the Fort Wayne Police Department's Vice and Narcotics Division tried to pull over Jermaine Cooper, 36, after they recognized him as a suspect wanted for multiple felony charges.
But Cooper sped away driving through several of the city's neighborhoods at high speed and threw a .45-caliber Colt semiautomatic handgun out the window of his car along the way.
The chase began just after 11 a.m. Tuesday and ended about a half hour later at a Taco Bell.
Cooper was arrested in the Taco Bell parking lot, where he told police officers he "knew he was going to jail for a while" and wanted to eat one last burrito, according to a report by Sgt. Mark Walters, the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette reported.
Cooper is facing four counts of dealing cocaine and one count each of resisting arrest by fleeing, possession of cocaine, possession of a controlled substance, possession of the drug Ecstasy and possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon.
He is being held, without bail, at the Allen County Jail, where burritos are probably not served.
