    Police chase ends with tractor-trailer crash on I-75
    BLADE STAFF
    BOWLING GREEN – A Tennessee tractor-trailer driver who allegedly stole a lamp from a Family Dollar store in Sandusky on Sunday evening led a parade of law enforcement officers on a chase through four counties before crashing into the median of I-75 near Haskins, Ohio, state troopers said.
    Troopers said the driver, Ronald D. Weaver of Sneedville, Tennessee, was taken into custody at 8 p.m. after his rig, which suffered flat tires from road spikes deployed by law enforcement officers, went into the median of southbound I-75.
    Sandusky police began the chase shortly before 7 p.m. but broke it off at the city limits on U.S. 6.
    Troopers picked up the chase on State Rt. 2, and continued to I-280 in Oregon. He drove north on I-280 until reaching southbound I-75.
    The chase included troopers from the Sandusky, Fremont, Toledo and Bowling Green posts, police units from Carroll and Danbury townships, Oregon police, and deputies from Ottawa, Lucas, and Wood County sheriff's offices, authorities said.
    Troopers said Mr. Weaver was driving a truck for Panther Transportation Services of Medina, Ohio.
    The driver was taken to Wood County Hospital for treatment of cuts and abrasions from broken glass.

    What I find amazing is that a tractor trailer was unable to outrun a police cruiser.

    LOL, who runs from the cops after stealing a dollar store lamp? That guy needs to submit a piss test because he has to be hiding some intoxicant in his system.

    I hope he had a dash cam. Want to watch this mess on the youtubbers and his family gets the revenue generated from clicks to bail him out.
    Then he can ask all of us on TTR who will hire him.


    Who has the video?
