The man accused of ramming his SUV into two Kettering police cruisers last week is facing formal charges.

Alexander Love, 24, was indicted by a Montgomery County grand jury this week on one count of failure to comply with the order or signal of a police officer and two counts of vandalism, according to Montgomery County Common Pleas Court records.

As News Center 7 previously reported, officers saw Love run a red light in a gray Cadillac SUV on E. Stroop Road on Jan. 23.

Officers caught up with Love near Pobst Drive. In a police report, a Kettering office stated they could see Love’s SUV swerving outside of its lane of travel. At that point, the officer activated their overhead lights to conduct a traffic stop, but Love allegedly didn’t stop.

While still on E. Stroop Road, Love’s SUV made a U-Turn at the median opening near the Stonebridge apartments. The officer then turned off their overhead lights and stopped following the vehicle.
