Tippecanoe County – On Friday, April 11, 2025, just after 10:00 p.m., Trooper Miramontes was patrolling the area of Sagamore Parkway near Kossuth Street when he observed a hearse displaying flashing red and white lights traveling northbound in the southbound lanes of Sagamore Parkway.

Before reaching South Street, the hearse crossed back into the northbound lanes. At the intersection of Sagamore Parkway and South Street, the hearse disregarded a red traffic light and continued northbound. Trooper Miramontes attempted a traffic stop, but the vehicle failed to stop and continued traveling north on Sagamore Parkway.

The pursuit continued from Lafayette into West Lafayette, where the suspect turned onto Sachem Boulevard. The hearse eventually came to a stop at the intersection of Sachem Boulevard and Sachem Court. Upon stopping, the driver initially ignored verbal commands from troopers before being safely taken into custody.

The driver was identified as Herman Gray, 39, of Terre Haute, Indiana. He was transported to the Tippecanoe County Jail and faces the following preliminary charges:

  • Herman Gray, 39, Terre Haute, IN
     
    1. Resisting Law Enforcement with a Vehicle – Level 6 Felony
    2. Resisting Law Enforcement – Class A Misdemeanor
    3. Lend/Permit Use of a Driver’s License – Class C Misdemeanor

Trooper Miramontes was assisted by other troopers from the Indiana State Police Lafayette Post and the Tippecanoe County Sheriff’s Office. 

All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
