DAYTON — Two people have been indicted of multiple charges after they led officers on a high-speed chase earlier this month.

52-year-old Richard Joy and 30-year-old Sharon Rieder were arrested on Feb. 6th after leading officers on a chase that started at Pershing Boulevard and Watervliet Ave after a Dayton officer attempted to stop their car.

An Ohio State Highway Patrol helicopter was in the area on an unrelated incident and took over the chase, according to a release. The car reached speeds of over 100 miles per hour.
