RAVENNA, Ohio — The Ravenna Police Department has arrested a man accused of shooting at multiple officers early Thursday morning.

Twenty-two-year-old Aiden Bew is charged with attempted murder after he allegedly fired multiple gunshots at officers performing an unrelated traffic stop on Oakwood Street. He was taken into custody in the small town of Deerfield with the help of U.S. Marshals.

Bew is currently being held at the Portage County Jail, and a court date has not been set. Should he be convicted, he could face up to life in prison.

"The Ravenna Police Department would like to thank the Ohio State Patrol, Portage County Sheriff’s Office, Kent Police Department, Portage County Drug Task Force, and the US Marshalls [sic] for their assistance," the force said in a statement. "We would also like to extend our appreciation for the continued support from our community throughout this investigation."
