Porter County Sheriff's Sgt. Larry LaFlower says police found the Kouts cruiser Wednesday morning "wrecked and submerged in water" in southern LaPorte County.

The suspect, 22-year-old William Francis Blankenship, wasn't with the car, which was believed to contain an undetermined number of guns, according to the Post-Tribune.

Police say Blankenship somehow escaped from the back of the vehicle and drove it away after he was arrested on drug charges in Kouts, a small Indiana town about 50 miles southeast of Chicago.

LaFlower says the officer who arrested him was the only one on duty at the time.

He didn't say if loaded guns left in the vehicle were still there.
