TPD: Man arrested in police chase of stolen vehicle, crash

TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) - A man was arrested after police say he ran away from a stolen vehicle that led police on a chase and crashed.

According to Toledo Police records, 28-year-old Roland Angelo Scott II is facing an obstructing official business charge. The criminal complaint says he obstructed officers from performing their duties by fleeing from a stolen vehicle. Scott pleaded not guilty in court on Monday.

TPD records say officers tried to pull over a vehicle for a traffic infraction at Ketcham and Brigham. The driver failed to stop and continued westbound on Ketcham to northbound Doyle where police say three people inside the vehicle jumped out while it was still moving. The vehicle coasted into a light pole at Doyle and Woodward. The police report said investigators are still working to determine who was driving the vehicle.

Police later determined the vehicle was stolen from the Save-a-lot on Manhattan in Toledo. Police did not specify whether Scott or any of the other occupants in the car at the time of the police chase were identified as suspects in the theft.
