CLEVELAND (WJW) – Cuyahoga County sheriff officials arrested a 23-year-old man for several charges, including improper handling of a firearm in a motor vehicle, after he was seen driving a stolen vehicle on Interstate 90 early Friday morning.
Jennifer Ciaccia, a county spokesperson, said deputies were positioned in the area of Dead Man’s Curve around 3:15 a.m. and attempted to stop the vehicle, which continued to accelerate.
“A vehicle pursuit was not initiated,” Ciaccia stated in a release. “The vehicle then ran over stop strips which had been pre-deployed by deputies. The vehicle was disabled and came to a stop. The male driver of the stolen vehicle exited the vehicle and fled on foot. Deputies established a perimeter and conducted a search with the use of a canine. The suspect was taken into custody a short time later.”
