Wanted Cincinnati man arrested after reported high-speed chase with Kentucky police
CARROLLTON, Ky. (FOX 56) — Kentucky State Police arrested a man wanted in Cincinnati on a strangulation charge after a chase Thursday night in Carroll County.
In a news release Friday morning, KSP said 25-year-old Terron Minnifield fled into Carroll County after allegedly trying to ram officers with the West Chester Police Department in Ohio during an attempted arrest.
After being alerted by Cincinnati police, state police said troopers found a vehicle driven by Minnifield on southbound I-71 near mile marker 51. Police said they attempted to pull him over, but he fled, speeding up to a reported 88 miles per hour.
After successfully deflating multiple tires on his vehicle, troopers said Minnifield drove on multiple flat tires for roughly 11 miles until a pit maneuver was used to get him to stop around mile marker 40.
