EPD Officers make arrest on subject wanted for aggravated battery with a firearm.
At approximately 4:30 on 2/20/2018 Evansville Police arrested Curtis Momon in connection with the May 21, 2017, shooting of both a juvenile and an adult female at the Chuckles gas station at 501 Fares Ave. Momon had been on the run for eight months but was observed yesterday driving a vehicle by an EPD V.I.P.E.R. Unit Detective. The V.I.P.E.R. unit, which is composed of both uniform and non-uniform Officers, attempted to stop Momon in the area of Fourth Ave/ Fountain Ave. Momon stopped briefly but then fled from Officers until he crashed out in the area of Third Ave/Columbia St. After crashing, Momon fled on foot while discarding a small plastic bag that contained marijuana. Momon was then tracked by K-9 Officers and eventually surrendered to responding Officers. Momon was arrested for his outstanding felony warrant for aggravated battery with a firearm and the additional charges of both misdemeanor and felony resisting law enforcement, possession of marijuana, reckless driving, and operating without ever receiving a license.
