Dashcam: Ohio police arrest armed suspect after road rage incident

The suspect suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to Miami Valley Hospital after the incident, he said.

“Our investigation is active and ongoing,” Irwin said.

The incident occurred after police were dispatched to the area of ​​State Route 4 and Chambersburg Road around 1:33 a.m. Sunday for a report of a traffic violence incident.

According to the Huber Heights Police Division, the victim reported that a suspect shot out the window and rammed his car. According to police, the victim attempted to drive away from the suspect when the suspect shot the victim again in the area of ​​the Shell gas station at 8007 State Route 235.

Officers reported seeing the suspect’s vehicle leaving the gas station parking lot. When they attempted to stop the vehicle, it continued south on State Route 235 at a high rate of speed, police said.

Officers attempted to use a precision immobilization technique (PIT) maneuver to stop the suspect’s vehicle but were unsuccessful. They continued north on New Carlisle Pike, where officers said they saw items being thrown from the suspect’s vehicle.

The suspect’s vehicle traveled west on Taylorsville Road before turning into a grassy area near a residence. The suspect exited the vehicle and was tackled to the ground by officers, police said. Instead, he raised a black AR-15 rifle and pointed it at the officers.

The officer closest to the man opened fire, hitting the suspect, who then fled with his rifle in hand. However, according to police, the man turned around several times to point the rifle at officers as he ran.

Police said they chased the man on foot until he collapsed on the porch of the residence near where he had stopped.

Officers called a paramedic and administered first aid to the suspect until he could be taken to the hospital, police said.

The charges remain to be reviewed by the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office.
