MONROE COUNTY — Sheriff Troy Goodnough reported a vehicle pursuit and recovery of a stolen vehicle, which started in Toledo but ended in Frenchtown Township in the early hours of Friday morning.
According to a release, on Friday, March 7, at 3:14 a.m., Monroe County Central Dispatch advised that up to 15 vehicles had been stolen from an automotive manufacturer in Toledo. Dispatch further reported that several of the stolen vehicles were being pursued northbound on I-75 into Monroe County by the Toledo Police Department.
After crossing the state line into Monroe County, Toledo Police continued the pursuit. Monroe County deputies set up along I-75 to assist. As the pursuit reached the Laplaisance Road exit, Deputy Austin Graham picked up the pursuit and took over as the primary unit.
The main vehicle being pursued was a black 2025 Dodge Durango, stated the release.
The pursuit continued northbound on I-75 as the stolen Durango continuously dodging authorities.
The chase continued until the vehicle came to a stop and the lone occupant fled on foot, just north of the Nadeau exit.
According to the release, several minutes later, a deputy observed that one of the occupants in a different vehicle matched the description of the suspect who had fled from the stolen Dodge Durango. The second vehicle, a blue Nissan Rogue, fled when a traffic stop was attempted.
A second chase ensued along southbound 1-75 to Front Street in Monroe, where the vehicle then drove back onto 1-75, this time going southbound in the northbound lanes of the highway. Monroe Public Safety stop sticks brought the vehicle to a stop.
Two occupants of the vehicle, one resembling the original suspect, fled on foot.
Officers attempted a K-9 track and used a drone in an attempt to locate the suspects, however they were not located at that time, according to the release.

Columbus and Franklin County homicides in June 2025
Columbus homicides dropped by considerable numbers in 2024, with the city experiencing a 17% decrease in killings over the previous year. The downward trend has continued in 2025 with homicides and shootings down through the first several months of the year. The Dispatch tracks all homicides to get a sense of where violence is happening in the city and Franklin County and to remember the victims. This list is preliminary, and the number of homicides can change as law enforcement investigates each case and decides whether the killing was criminal, justified, accidental, or the result of suicide. The Dispatch excludes fatal overdoses, accidents, suicides and unintentional hit-and-run deaths. The information we compile comes from Columbus and Franklin County law enforcement, court records and interviews with family and loved ones of homicide victims and is subject to change. A 35-year-old man died after being shot just before midnight June 6 at a billiard parlor, Whitehall police said. Officers responded to Players Family Billiards, 4380 E. Main St., where they found Corey Divers with a gunshot wound, according to a police news release. He died shortly after being taken to Mount Carmel East Hospital, according to the release. 'Violence like this will not be tolerated in Whitehall,' police Lt. Tanner Williams said in the release. 'We are aggressively pursuing every lead and using every available resource to find the person responsible.' As of June 7, police had not arrested anyone. They asked those with information to call them at 614-237-6333, ext. 1263. Columbus police responded to a stabbing report about 10 p.m. June 3 on the 3100 block of Allegheny Drive, according to a news release. Officers found Damon Riley, 35, suffering from a stab wound.
