RAVENNA, Ohio — A 23-year-old man from Stow was arrested Tuesday morning after fleeing from Ravenna police officers attempting to stop him.
According to a news release from the Ravenna Police Department, officers observed the suspect, Tyler Fish, driving a vehicle at 8:29 a.m. Fish has active felony warrants for his arrest including Domestic Violence and Felonious Assault.
After making attempts to stop Fish, he fled from Ravenna police officers in a 2005 Teal Ford 500.
"Tyler traveled east on State Route 5 until he turned north onto Knapp Road and ultimately returned to the intersection of State Route 14," the news release states. "He then continued east on State Route 5 again, until striking Stop Sticks, which were deployed by the Ohio State Highway Patrol at Esworthy and State Route 5."
Fish then drove his vehicle off the road on Greenleaf and Newton Falls Road where he attempted to flee on foot. Ravenna police officers were able to quickly apprehend him.
The suspect was transported to the University Hospital Portage Medical Center by Ravenna Fire due to the fact that he swallowed a large quantity of what was suspected to be narcotics.
A passenger, Mike McCutcheon, exited the vehicle when the Ravenna police officers initiated the traffic stop. He was later identified and apprehended on active warrants in downtown Ravenna.
Fish was charged with Failure to Comply and Driving under suspension on top of his existing warrants.
