Dec. 1, 2021
Dashcam video captured a 35-year-old man weaving through traffic at high speeds in an effort to elude officers from multiple departments, including Mariemont, Newtown and Fairfax.
Ohio police apprehended a suspect in a stolen truck after a wild chase through several municipalities near Cincinnati last week.
The incident happened at about 4 a.m. Wednesday when Mariemont police pulled over a truck that had been reported stolen, WLWT-TV reports. The 35-year-old driver—identified as James Chivers—initially stopped for the officers before speeding off with police in pursuit.
Officers from Mariemont, Newtown and Fairfax chased the truck through several communities. During the pursuit, Chivers reached speeds around 100 mph, as dashboard camera footage showed him weaving through traffic and driving on the wrong side of the road.
Chivers eventually was taken into custody after he collided with two cruisers and police used a stun gun to subdue him. No officers were seriously injured in the incident, according to authorities.
Chivers faces felonious assault, vandalism and other charges.
