Dispatchers said the pursuit started around 12:45 p.m. in Middletown and traveled along U.S. 127. It ended after 2 p.m. when the driver was taken into custody.

Video shared by witnesses on social media shows multiple police vehicles following a white semi cab past Couch’s grocery market in New Miami.

In one video, the person filming said a headlight on the cab was not working. No trailer was attached.

Spooky Nook is hosting a large sports event this weekend.

Police have not released the name of the driver or other details.
