ARCHBOLD, Ohio — Two Cleveland residents are in custody following a police chase in the Village of Archbold Monday.

Officers began pursuing two vehicles. Neither driver stopped for officers on N. Defiance Street. 

One of the vehicles, a black Dodge Challenger Hellcat stolen from Strongsville, crashed near County Road D and County Road 24. The driver, 29-year-old Thorne Carrington of Cleveland, was arrested and charged with grand theft of a motor vehicle and failure to comply with order or signal of a police officer.

Officers continued to follow the second vehicle, a stolen green Dodge Charger Hellcat which was located on West Street in Archbold. A search of the area and tips from residents led to the arrest of the second driver, 21-year-old Deztaney Spencer of Cleveland. Spencer has been charged with grand theft of a motor vehicle and failure to comply with order or signal of a police officer. 

The name Deztaney Smith may sound familiar. The Ottawa County Sheriff's Office was looking for a woman by the same name. Spencer is accused of stealing an Ottawa County sheriff deputy's cruiser after a crash back on Dec. 12.
