Court documents from Elkhart County reveal on May 30, an officer with the Elkhart Police Department was on patrol, driving south on Benham Avenue from the intersection of Benham Avenue and W. Lusher Avenue around 1:02 a.m.

The officer stated at that time he noticed a blue Dodge Durango, also driving south, behind him with its front passenger side headlight out.

The officer also noted the Dodge drifted west into the curb, hit the curb, and continued drifting before correcting itself.

At this point, documents state the officer let the Dodge pass him by before continuing south behind the suspect.

The officer observed the Dodge drive left of center in the 2800 block of Benham Avenue before drifting back into the southbound lane of travel.

At the intersection of Benham Avenue and W. Mishawaka Road, the suspect car stopped at the redlight before disregarding the redlight and turning east onto Mishawaka Road. During this wide turn, the Dodge's passenger sider tires went into the grass on the south side of Mishawaka Road.

The officer came to believe the driver was intoxicated and initiated a traffic stop.

The officer caught up to the Dodge at the intersection of Prairie Street and W. Mishawaka Road at which point the suspect fled, accelerating quickly, before turning south onto C.R. 9. The suspect vehicle reached up to around 110 miles per hour.

At the intersection of C.R. 9 and C.R. 26, the suspect vehicle struck a white KIA Telluride that was traveling est through the intersection.

The KIA was ripped in half with its rear portion ending up in the field about 80 feet away from the wreck. The KIA's driver was trapped in her seat.

She was extricated and taken to Elkhart General Hospital and placed into the ICU with a brain bleed, broken collarbone, and broken ribs.

The officer approached the Dodge, noticing the driver, Paz-Perez, had exited already. The officer held him at gunpoint before detaining and handcuffing him.

The officer stated he observed crotch of the Paz-Perez's shorts were wet as if he'd urinated himself or spilled a beverage, his eyes were red and watery, his speech was slurred, and there was an odor of alcohol coming from his person and breath.

Paz-Perez was placed in the back of the patrol vehicle where he told the officer he was fine and refused medical help. Paz-Perez was taken to the Elkhart Police Department.

Paz-Perez was found to show signs of intoxication while performing the Standard Field Sobriety Test, police say.

At around 2:16 a.m., Paz-Perez submitted to a breathalyzer, which found his BAC to be .174.

Paz-Perez was then taken to the Elkhart General Hospital for medical clearance, where medical staff said he needed to stay under observation, due to injuries from the crash.

The Elkhart County Sheriff's Office reconstructed the crash and took over the crash scene.

Paz-Perez was later booked into Elkhart County Jail.
