A Terre Haute man is in jail following a multi-agency police pursuit through two counties early this morning.

James Michael Allen Howard, 29,  was booked into the Clay County Jail just after 2 a.m. He also has previously had an address listed in Rosedale. He is facing multiple charges in that county and in Parke County, where the chase continued past Raccoon Lake. He is charged with multiple counts of resisting arrests and will face another charge of leaving the scene of a property damage crash in Parke County, according to scanner traffic.

Speeds in the pursuit reached 100 mph along SR 59, with the suspect fleeing in a Buick passenger car.  No one was injured in the incident.

​Ultimately, Howard was taken into custody near Interstate 70 , back in Clay County near Brazil.
