BRIMFIELD, Ohio — Two people have been arrested following a chase in Brimfield on Sunday night where police say the incident “caused a considerable disturbance in our residential neighborhoods” -- and authorities say the vehicle had an 11-year-old child inside.
Brimfield police say it was around 9 p.m. when officers attempted to stop a vehicle on Edson Road for an undisclosed traffic violation.
