Police pursuit ends on Lake Avenue | News

ASHTABULA – Police’s pursuit of a suspect ended with a crash on Lake Avenue between West 5th and 6th Streets Thursday afternoon.

“It was the result of an investigation that our detective was working on,” Ashtabula Police Chief Robert Stell said.

He said the incident occurred around 4:15 p.m. when the suspect drove off from an area near Bridge Street in the harbor and ended shortly after, but not before several cars were damaged.

Stell said the suspect is in custody and will likely face felony charges because he is on the run and evading charges. He said two police cars and several vehicles near the intersection of Bridge Street and Lake Avenue were damaged.
