THREE SENT TO REID AFTER OVERNIGHT CHASE AND CRASH

(Richmond, IN)--Three people went to Reid Health late Monday night after a chase and crash in the Fairview area of Richmond.  It began at around 11:30 Monday night with a pursuit involving two teens who have now been identified as 18-year-old Skyler Cottongim and 19-year-old Nicholas Combs.  Cottongim had just gotten out of jail a few days ago following a theft, and Combs had an active warrant after failing to appear for a hearing on an allegation that he fired shots into a Kinsey Street home last year.  Overnight, the two crashed into another vehicle and brought the pursuit to an end.  Both fled on foot and were captured in the Kinsey Street area.  There’s no word on the condition of the people in the other vehicle who went to Reid for treatment.
