ELMORE, Ohio — Authorities arrested a Toledo man on the Ohio Turnpike just south of Elmore Thursday night after a pursuit, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

Sgt. Ryan Purpura, OSHP spokesperson, told WTOL 11 that 23-year-old Nathaniel Woodby was charged with receiving stolen property and failure to comply with the order or signal of a police officer.

Purpura said Lake Township police officer located a Camaro, which was later recovered on the Turnpike in Ottawa County, by I-280 and the Turnpike around 8 p.m. on Thursday. Woodby did not stop when the officer attempted a traffic stop and a pursuit eastbound on the Turnpike ensued.

Woodby eventually came to a stop just after 8 p.m. on the exit ramp for the state Route 51 interchange and was taken into custody, according to Purpura.

The incident is under investigation by Lake Township police and the OSHP, Purpura said.
