Delaware County, Indiana – After being discovered in rural Delaware County, Indiana State Police detained an Alabama man who was thought to have killed someone back in his native country.
ISP said that after receiving many complaints from locals about a reckless driver in the area, troopers from the Pendleton District stopped a car for speeding on State Road 35 near Mt. Pleasant at around 4 p.m. on Wednesday.
The ISP identified the driver as Teddy Donnell Cozart, and the trooper discovered that he was wanted for an Alabama homicide. ISP reported that the 20-year-old Andalusia, Alabama, resident was operating a red Ford Focus.
