One Arrested After Two County High-Speed Pursuit

Hardin County Sheriff’s Deputies were involved in a two county high-speed pursuit earlier this week.  

According to a release issued Wednesday evening, the pursuit began at 11:33 pm August 8  when deputies observed the vehicle being operated in excess of the posted speed limit on North Detroit Street in the City of Kenton.  

When signaled to stop, the driver refused to do so, leading deputies south on Ohio Route 31 into Union County.  

The vehicle, which was found to be stolen, was stopped after the deployment of stop sticks and pit maneuver tactics. 

The car’s driver and 3 other occupants were taken into custody.  

The driver was later arrested and transported to the Multi County Correctional Center in Marion, with charges pending for numerous traffic violations, felony fleeing, and receiving stolen property.  

The other occupants were released, and the incident remains under investigation.
