A Kenton woman and Mount Victory man were indicted this week by the Putnam County Grand Jury regarding a high-speed chase with local police June 10.
Michael J. Moore, 29, 125½ S. Wheeler St., Mount Victory, was indicted on failure to comply with an order or signal of a police officer and abduction. Erin L. Douglas, 30, 137 E. Espy St., Kenton, was indicted on complicity, two counts.
According to a report from the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office, at 11:48 p.m. June 10, the Ottawa Police Department attempted to stop a 1995 Cadillac El Dorado driven by Moore, who failed to comply with the lawful order and fled the scene at a high rate of speed.
The pursuit led police into Hancock County and then back into Putnam County, where the vehicle came to stop behind Pandora-Gilboa schools. Moore and Douglas fled into a nearby wooded area. Douglas was apprehended by a Putnam County Sheriff’s Office K9 unit. Moore was taken into custody without incident. Two unnamed passengers were released without charges. Assisting in the incident were the Pandora Police Department, Columbus Grove Police Department, the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Pandora EMS, Putnam County EMS, and Impressive Towing.
