TOLEDO, Ohio — One person is in custody after they fled authorities in a stolen vehicle, according to a press release from the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.
According to the release, deputies responded to northbound I-75 near the Michigan/Ohio border after receiving information that an Ohio State Highway Patrol trooper was pursuing an allegedly stolen vehicle - a 2020 Dodge Ram from Perrysburg.
OSHP terminated their pursuit near the state line, and Monroe County deputies took over the pursuit, intercepting the suspect vehicle near South Otter Creek Road. The vehicle did not stop for deputies, law enforcement said, and continued traveling north on I-75.
The deployment of stop-sticks deflated one of the tires on the suspect vehicle as the pursuit reached North Dixie Highway. The suspect then exited I-75 at Nadeau Road and pulled into the Pilot Travel Center, law enforcement said.
