Carleton man arrested after pursuit across Monroe County
At 10:33 a.m., Deputy Jacob Laboe was dispatched to the Monroe County Community Credit Union on North Dixie Highway, after the report of a man threatening staff members and demanding money. The man had left a silver Chevrolet Impala, which was identified as the same vehicle involved in a home invasion incident in Newport reported in the early hours that day.
Laboe found the suspect's vehicle on North Dixie Highway near the Woodland Beach Subdivision. While he initially pulled over for a traffic stop, he fled in the car shortly after. Laboe took off in pursuit, following the car northbound on North Dixie Highway.
"At this time deputy Nick Bailey was able to deploy stop sticks at the intersection of North Dixie Highway and Pointe Aux Peaux Road, striking both front tires of the suspect vehicle," the sheriff's office said in a release.
Laboe continued following the car at a slower pace, with the Impala then running on two flat tires. Deputies were eventually able to stop the car on North Dixie Highway, north of Trombley Road in Berlin Township. The driver was taken into custody without further incident.
The suspect was identified as a 49-year-old from Carleton and lodged at the Monroe County Jail on charges of home invasion, and fleeing and eluding.

Bodycam shows Powerball winner being arrested a day after collecting $167M prize
'It's going to be a good Mother's Day,' James Farthing's mother, Linda Grizzle, told lottery officials when they collected the $167 million prize. 'This is going to pay off my debt.' Body camera footage from a Florida police officer shows a Kentucky Powerball jackpot winner, who collected his prize just hours before, getting arrested for allegedly kicking an officer in the face during a fight. James Farthing and his girlfriend, Jacqueline Fightmaster, were arrested at the TradeWinds Resort in St. Pete Beach, Florida, in April, according to an arrest affidavit and court records obtained and reviewed by USA TODAY. Farthing, 50, is accused of punching another hotel guest in the face during an argument. A Pinellas County Sheriff's deputy was trying to break up the fight when Farthing kicked him in the face, causing swelling and redness, the affidavit said. Police accuse Farthing of trying to flee the scene. He was apprehended later, as seen in the bodycam footage from April. According to a separate arrest affidavit, Farthing's girlfriend is accused of trying to fight other patrons in the resort bar. 'She appeared very intoxicated and was yelling, screaming and making incoherent statements,' the affidavit reads. Farthing is charged with one felony count of battery on a law enforcement officer and two misdemeanor counts of battery and resisting an officer, according to online court records. Fightmaster is being charged with one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct. Farthing's attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment from USA TODAY. See the bodycam video On April 28, one day before his arrest, Farthing and his mother were announced as the winners of a $167.3 million Powerball jackpot. The jackpot was the largest prize ever won in the history of Kentucky. 'It's going to be a good Mother's Day,' Farthing's mother, Linda Grizzle, told lottery officials.
