ELKHART, Ind. -- Several people were arrested after a traffic stop became chaotic when a second vehicle stopped and its occupants attempted to interfere, according to Elkhart Police.

Thursday afternoon an officer conducted a traffic stop on a Chevy Malibu in the 300 block of Chapman Avenue.

The driver, identified as Angela Sims, did not have a license and had an outstanding warrant, police said.

Her front seat passenger was identified as Lee Sims. The back seat passenger gave a false name and was later identified as Christopher Coleman, police said.

Coleman ran from the police and ran east on Chapman Avenue, police said.

Following a short pursuit, officers took Coleman into custody on a preliminary charge of resisting law enforcement and false informing.

During the traffic stop on the Malibu, a Honda Pilot SUV stopped just behind the officer’s vehicle and all four occupants got out of the vehicle.

The occupants were identified as Jon Verner Jr, Shiniah Bluntson, a juvenile and Keon Jackson, police said.

Bluntson walked up to the driver’s door of the Malibu and refused to step back when the officer asked her to, reports said.

All four occupants of the Honda got into the middle of the street and began yelling, reports said.
