The chase continued through Dayton where Dayton officers assisted with stop sticks, but they failed to deflate the car’s tires.

Around 10 minutes after it started the chase ended when the driver pulled into his home in Trotwood.

The driver got out of his car and attempted to jump into a creek, Vance said.

The suspect was soon taken into custody.

He was taken to an area hospital to be treated for drug abuse, according to Vance.

An officer also sustained an injury to the hand and was taken to the hospital where he will likely need stitches.

Vance said the woman involved in the domestic incident had facial injuries but declined medical treatment.

The driver faces charges related to domestic violence, drugs, and eluding police, Vance said.
