The pickup truck fled east on Pennyroyal Road then continued north on Miamisburg-Springboro Road through Miamisburg before eventually heading north on Soldiers Home Road, according to Franklin police. The chase ended when the pickup went behind a house in the 5800 block of Pinnacle Road and crashed.
The driver was found a short time later hiding in an overgrown wood line behind the residence.
Marcus Mitchell, 35, was taken into custody. Mitchell is charged with fleeing and eluding, a third-degree felony; motor vehicle theft, a fifth-degree felony; obstructing official business, a fifth-degree felony; and misdemeanor charges of OVI and driving under suspension.
Mitchell is housed in the Warren County Jail in lieu of a $55,000 bond. He is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday in Franklin Municipal Court. Mitchell also has a pending warrant for his arrest out of Montgomery County for a motor vehicle theft, according to police.
Miami Twp., Miamisburg and Moraine police departments and the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office assisted in the arrest.
