According to dispatch records, troopers originally saw a vehicle driving erratically at Needmore and Wagner Ford roads, and tried to pull it over. The vehicle fled.

From there, the vehicle went north on Interstate 75, then east on Interstate 70 before exiting on Brandt Pike, records said.

The suspect then led the pursuing cruisers on a path that wound through Huber Heights.

At one point, dispatchers said that officers deployed stop sticks and burst at least one of the vehicle’s tires. At another, the vehicle apparently struck a curb, and damaged the vehicle further so that the front of the car began dragging on the ground.

Eventually, according to dispatch records, the suspect vehicle came down Brandt Pike, turned onto Needmore Road, and eventually came to a stop at Webster Street, where the suspect was taken into custody.
