HUBER HEIGHTS, Ohio — Randal Hampton is arrested by Montgomery County Deputies and Huber Heights PD in Harrison Township on Sept. 7, 2012, in front of the house he slammed into after police pursuit.

A high-speed car chase began in Huber Heights on Sunday evening and ended in a foot chase and an arrest in Harrison Twp.

Randal Hampton, 29, was taken to a local hospital as a result of minor injuries incurred during the pursuit, but he will be booked into the Montgomery County Jail on a felony warrant for burglary and fleeing police, according to authorities on Sunday evening.

Prosecutors will likely pursue additional charges this week, according to Huber Heights Sgt. John Kissee.

The chase is believed to have begun at 5:30 p.m. as Hampton was traveling south on Wagner Ford Road. When a Huber Heights officer attempted to pull him over near Powell Road, Hampton reportedly fled.

Speeds reached about 80 mph as the pursuit turned west onto Need-more Road. After numerous turns through a Harrison Twp. neighborhood, police said the man bailed out of the car and his vehicle hit a house at 2212 Nomad Ave.

No injuries were reported to the occupants of the house.

After a foot chase by Huber Heights officers and Montgomery County sheriff’s deputies, Hampton was taken into custody shortly after 6 p.m. at Nomad Avenue and North Dixie Drive.

No one was hurt during the pursuit.

“Traffic was light,” Kissee said.
