OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On June 4, approximately 5:00 p.m., Trooper Caleb Cannon of the Indiana State Police attempted a traffic stop near Cory, Indiana. The driver, later identified as Aaron Krout, refused to yield and triggered a low-speed pursuit. Clay County deputies deployed stop sticks, deflating his tires; Trooper Cannon then executed a PIT maneuver, causing Krout’s vehicle to veer into a cornfield and strike the patrol car. Krout exited the vehicle after about an hour, stripped naked, and resisted verbal commands. Deputies extricated and handcuffed him without further incident. Observing signs of controlled substance impairment, officers transported Krout to Terre Haute Regional Hospital. While under medical care, Krout experienced a medical emergency and died. Vigo County Coroner Travis Norris scheduled an autopsy, and the Indiana State Police continues the investigation.
