K-9 apprehends suspect after 100+mph chase: Report
GIRARD, Ohio (WKBN) — A man who police said had a history of violence and who led officers on a chase late last month before being apprehended by a department K-9 appeared in court Wednesday on the charges. Alvin Tucker Jr., of Youngstown, appeared in Girard Municipal Court for felony charges of resisting arrest and failure to comply, along with misdemeanor charges of speeding and driving without a license. The charges stem from April 30, when officers with the Warren Police Department alerted Liberty Police that a vehicle involved in a chase would likely be entering their jurisdiction. Soon enough, an officer spotted the involved vehicle, a gold Chevrolet Caprice, in the area of Anderson Morris Road and state Route 11. The car was driving around 102 mph in a 65 mph zone, according to the officer who registered the speed on a radar device. Authorities identified the driver as Alvin Tucker, who reports state had nationwide felony warrants for his arrest and was listed as armed and dangerous, with a history of resisting arrest. Reports state Tucker allegedly threatened to 'shoot up' a vehicle involving a victim of an ongoing case the week before. A pursuit began, covering portions of state Route 711, Gypsy Lane, Dearborn Avenue, Dupont Street and Stransbury Drive. During the chase, which happened a bit before 6 p.m., police state multiple pedestrians and juveniles backed away from the road to ensure their safety from the speeding vehicle. The chase reached the intersection of Stransbury Drive and Sloan Avenue, at which point Tucker took a dirt service road into a wooded area, where he struck a large grass mound, damaging the vehicle, but managed to continue driving through an open field and finally only stopped when he reached a wooded tree line. Tucker then exited the vehicle, and police on the scene said he reached into his waistband, leading them to assume he was reaching for a firearm. Reports state the officer told Tucker, 'Police with a K-9, get on the ground,' but he ran into the woods. K-9 Shelby was deployed and was able to apprehend Tucker by his lower leg as he was attempting to climb a chain link fence, the report stated. Officers then placed Tucker in handcuffs. When asked why he had run, reports state Tucker told police he had warrants for his arrest. During a deeper look into Tucker's background, police reported that there was also a full extradition warrant for his arrest through Michigan, though authorities declined to extradite him at that time. He was taken to Mercy Health for treatment before he was booked into Trumbull County jail. In court on Wednesday, Tucker's bond was set at $10,000. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

1968 Chevy Caprice Wagon on BaT Is a Sixties Suburban Schooner
This late-Sixties station wagon is a wood-paneled behemoth. Under the hood, it's packing some big-block V-8 firepower. It's also heavy optioned, with air conditioning, a third-row seat, and basically power everything. One of the episodes from the first season of That '70s Show sees Bob Pinciotti and Red Forman driving around trying to find their kids and bust up plans for a keg party. When Bob opines on the difficulty of the task, Red delivers one of his best lines: "Look, they left the house in a wood-paneled ocean liner. We should be able to find them." Station wagons are a rarity these days, but once upon a time, these mighty leviathans ruled the suburban seas. A fine example is this 1968 Chevrolet Caprice that's up for sale on Bring a Trailer (which, like Car and Driver, is part of Hearst Autos). It had pretty much every option box ticked, and it has more wood paneling than the average '70s rec room. This particular example is actually built in Canada; it was produced in Quebec and delivered to London, Ontario. The first owner was clearly a well-heeled sort, as the car was delivered with power door locks, power windows (including the tailgate window), a power front seat, air conditioning, cruise control, extra speakers, and hideaway headlights. That's a lot of fancy for a Chevrolet, and things get even better when you open that aircraft-carrier-sized hood. Underneath is a 396-cubic-inch V-8 that was rated for 325 (gross) horsepower when new, breathing through a four-barrel carburetor. It rumbles just the way you want, and it gets power to the ground through a three-speed automatic transmission. The odometer here reads 64K miles, though true mileage is listed as unknown. The color's also not the original light gold but a rich-looking shade called Autumn Metallic. It really suits this big barge, which is capped off with whitewall tires on 15-inch rally-style wheels. Plenty of work has been done here, including replacing the headliner, air conditioning, and shocks plus tuning up the engine with new plugs and wires and replacing the brakes. With two massive bench seats and a rear-facing third row, there's enough room in here for the whole gang (plus or minus the keg). This land yacht is ready to hit the tarmac seas. The auction ends on Wednesday, February 19.
