Attempted murder suspect arrested after wild chase on golf course
A man wanted for attempted murder is in police custody after a multi-hour chase, a carjacking, and an officer-involved shooting that left a trail of damage across several locations in Summit County on Tuesday. State troopers say 39-year-old Julius Edwards was wanted in connection with an attempted murder investigation out of Canton. Troopers spotted the SUV Edwards was driving in Hudson and attempted to pull him over, but Edwards sped off. During the pursuit, police say Edwards ran a red light at Terex Road and crashed into another car, injuring several people. Edwards then jumped out of the SUV and fled into a wooded area. As a trooper followed, investigators say Edwards fired at the trooper. The trooper fired back, but Edwards escaped. Shortly after, investigators say Edwards was spotted again — this time driving a stolen minivan he had carjacked from another driver. A second chase followed, ending when Edwards crashed into a Summit Metro Parks cruiser, causing it to roll over. Edwards ditched the minivan and attempted to flee on foot before Highway Patrol and Stow Police arrested him near Saybrooke Boulevard and Bunker Lane. The Summit Metro Parks officer involved in the crash sustained minor injuries. The people Edwards crashed into earlier are expected to recover. The chaotic scene played out in front of stunned golfers at Fox Den Golf Course in Stow, where Edwards drove the stolen minivan across the course while police pursued.
