Nappanee Police make two arrests

At 8:14a.m. Wednesday, July 2, Nappanee Police Captain Mike Anglin observed a subject who was wanted by various agencies. The wanted subject was identified as 35-year-old Dallas G. Honeycutt, residing at Lot #1026 Meadows Mobile Home Park, Nappanee. Capt. Anglin asked the subject for his name, at which time he gave a different name and date of birth. As Ptl. Joe Kimpel arrived, Capt. Anglin located a driver’s license identifying the subject as Dallas Honeycutt. Honeycutt fled from the officers, and a brief foot pursuit turned into a fight as Honeycutt refused to be taken into custody. During the fight, the subject attempted to take Capt. Anglin’s duty weapon from its holster. Officer Kimpel trapped Honeycutt’s hand on the weapon, and proceeded to spray several bursts of OC pepper spray into the subject’s face, which subdued the suspect and allowed the officers to handcuff him. Honeycutt was taken to the Nappanee Police Dept., and was checked by Nappanee EMS personnel to wash out the pepper spray; when he complained of having trouble breathing, he was transported by the EMS to Elkhart General Hospital. After a brief time, Honeycutt was released by the doctors, and was then taken to the Elkhart County Jail on charges of resisting arrest and false informing, as well as for warrants out of Goshen, Kosciusko County and Indiana Parole.
