A multi-state pursuit lasting more than an hour ended with the suspect in custody and taken to UC Hospital.

Earlier in the evening at about 9 pm, a dark GMC Acadia with a firearm inside was stolen in Norwood, Ohio.

Norwood officers located the SUV, placed stop sticks under a rear tire, and watched the vehicle until a man got in and drove off. The pursuit traveled through downtown Cincinnati, onto I-71 and I-471, and crossed between Ohio and Kentucky several times as multiple agencies joined in.

Despite several stop-stick attempts and the vehicle losing three tires, the driver continued fleeing on city streets and highways.

The chase finally ended on Central Parkway near Cincinnati State, where officers from multiple departments ordered the suspect out and took him into custody. The extent of his injuries is unclear. CITIZEN APP
