PLAINFIELD — Police have detained the man who allegedly led officers on a deadly police chase in Plainfield in August.
Avon Police Department shared that IMPD officers apprehended Bryan Goodman on Monday on the east side of Indianapolis.
On August 30, Plainfield Police Department officers responded to a report of a person down at Long John Silvers in the 2300 block of East Main Street just before 6 p.m. on August 30.
According to Avon Police, who is handling the investigation, 38-year-old Bryan Goodmon, of Fillmore, Indiana, was possibly impaired and sitting inside his car at the restaurant.
When a Plainfield officer approached Goodmon, police say he drove away, nearly hitting an officer with his car.
The officer began pursuing the vehicle with his police lights on, according to PPD.
During the chase, Goodmon drove through the intersection of U.S. Highway 40 and Smith Road. Once he had passed, a gray Ford pulled out into the intersection, and the pursuing officer struck the vehicle.
The occupants of the Ford, identified as Barbara and Bennie Williams, died as the scene.

The officer involved, a 5-year veteran, was placed on administrative leave, which is standard procedure in an investigation.
Toxicology reports are pending from both drivers involved; however, investigators do not believe drug or alcohol impairment to be a factor in the investigation by either party, police say.
Goodman was remanded to the Hendricks County Jail where he is currently being held on no bond for multiple felonies.
