A short chase began but ended when Dignan lost control and hit a tree near Endicott Road.
Dignan reportedly ran off into the wood line.
Officers saw him with a gun in his hand, which led to a large law enforcement response.
News Center 7 has a crew in the area of Rip Rap Road and Powell Road and reports seeing Huber Heights officers, Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office deputies, and at least one SWAT vehicle.
Police were able to take Dignan into custody in a wooded area off Powell Road.
Dignan reported minor injuries and was treated at a local emergency room before being taken to the Montgomery County Jail.
He is being held in jail on a $300,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 6.
The case remains under investigation.
