ALLIANCE, Ohio – A 41-year-old man with a lengthy criminal history was arrested for the 29th time following a high-speed pursuit that spanned four counties and reached speeds of 105 mph, WOIO reported.
The man was taken into custody on March 22 after leading officers on a pursuit while throwing objects — including a tire iron and a bottle of chocolate milk — at police cruisers in an attempt to force them off the road, according to the report.
Video released by the Alliance Police Department shows officers pursued the man for more than 30 minutes as he drove recklessly. He was stopped after officers deployed spike strips, causing the suspect’s vehicle to strike a road sign and come to a stop in a field.
The man, who has 19 active driver’s license suspensions, was wanted on multiple warrants from the Canton Police Department, Carroll County and Stark County, according to the report. APD confirmed that this was his third pursuit involving Alliance officers.
He now faces several charges, including felony fleeing, felony vandalism, felonious assault, possession of methamphetamine and other offenses. He is currently being held in the Stark County Jail, according to the report.
