A Fishers Police K9 team, assisted by a department drone pilot, apprehended a man wanted in several Indiana counties following a late-night crash and foot pursuit on the city’s east side.

According to a social media post from the Fishers Police Department, officers responded around 11 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 11, to a crash near 104th Street and Olio Road. The caller reported that four men had run from the vehicle following the crash. By the time officers arrived, three of the men had returned to the scene. The driver, however, remained at large.

Police said a brief foot pursuit followed as officers searched for the suspect. A Fishers Police drone pilot deployed a drone equipped with thermal imaging technology and located a person hiding in a tree line. The drone operator provided what police described as “overwatch” to officers on the ground, including a K9 unit.

The suspect was taken into custody without further incident.

Police identified the driver as Daniel Morales Senovio, of Indianapolis. Once in custody, officers learned he had multiple outstanding warrants in Hamilton, Clark and Jasper counties.

Senovio faces the following charges in connection with the Fishers incident:

• Resisting law enforcement, Class A misdemeanor
• False identity statement, Class A misdemeanor
• Leaving the scene of an accident, Class B misdemeanor
• Operating a motor vehicle without ever receiving a license, Class C misdemeanor

Police also arrested Anthony Gonzalez, of Indianapolis, on a Marion County warrant. Gonzalez is wanted on a Level 6 felony charge of residential entry.
