A recent chase and arrest of a violent felon with a firearm highlights a trend of increasing gun violence, law enforcement officials said.
Anthony Sanders, 33, of LaPorte, faces charges of being a serious violent felon in possession of a firearm and resisting law enforcement, according to LaPorte County Superior Court records.Â
On Tuesday evening, detectives from the LaPorte County Drug Task Force were doing surveillance in the 200 block of West 11th Street in Michigan City.Â
As Cpl. Kyle Shiparski and Det. James Fish were leaving the area, they saw Sanders walk out of a house in the 1000 block of Washington Street holding a firearm with a high-capacity magazine.Â
