On Saturday, June 19, 2021, 33-year-old Gregory Lee Linder passed K-9 Cpl. Sullivan near the 1900 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Ave., and due to previous encounters, K-9 Cpl. Sullivan knew Linder’s driver’s license was suspended. In fact, his driving privileges have been suspended so many times that it is now a felony for him to even drive. . K9 Cpl. Sullivan initiated a vehicle pursuit that persisted for approximately 6 and ½ minutes. A successful PIT (Precision Immobilization Technique) maneuver was performed and Linder lost control of the vehicle. Linder fled from his vehicle and K-9 Cpl. Sullivan gave chase on foot yelling K-9 warnings, which Linder ignored. K-9 Adelmo quickly caught up to Linder and apprehended him, at which time he hastily surrendered. Medics responded and transported Linder to the hospital for treatment. After he was medically cleared, Linder was placed under arrest and transported to the Marion County Jail. Linder was charged with Felony Fleeing and Eluding Law Enforcement, Habitually Driving with a Suspended License (felony), and Resisting without Violence.
