Less than 10 minutes later, Miamisburg police spotted the same SUV and tried to stop it. However, the car took off again, and officers stopped the pursuit due to high speeds. Montgomery County Sheriff's deputies spotted the SUV a short time later in Jefferson Township and tried to pull it over. Parlett drove away from deputies and got it into the City of Trotwood before crashing. Parlett allegedly ran away from the scene of the crash, but was eventually arrested after a short chase. 15-year-old Jaden McClaskey was inside the SUV during the pursuits and crash. He was critically injured and died from his injuries two days later, according to Heck. Another juvenile inside the car was injured but survived. Days before the crash, Parlett was arrested for receiving stolen property after crashing a different stolen car, according to Heck. Montgomery County Jail records show that Parlett was booked into jail around 5 p.m. on Wednesday. 'Once again we see the tragic consequences that can happen when defendants flee from traffic stops. Pursuits are dangerous, not only to other drivers, but also the law enforcement officers and even to those fleeing. We need to put an end to this reckless behavior and there should be significant consequences for those who flee and fail to comply,' Heck said. [SIGN UP: WHIO-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]

Teen accused of fleeing police multiple times, causing crash that killed 15-year-old
Jun. 4—An 18-year-old from New Lebanon is facing charges after fleeing from police officers in a stolen SUV three different times before a crash in Trotwood that killed a 15-year-old and injured a second child. Dominick Aiden Jackson Parlett was indicted on three counts of failure to comply, two counts of vehicular assault, and one count each of aggravated vehicular homicide, involuntary manslaughter and receiving stolen property. On Tuesday, Nov. 19, 2024, Moraine police saw a Ford Escape that was reported stolen earlier that day in Fairborn, according to the Montgomery County Prosecutor's Office. Officers deployed a tracking device on the SUV and tried to pull it over, but the vehicle fled. Due to the driver's dangerous driving, police called off the chase. Less than 10 minutes later, Miamisburg police found the same SUV and tried to pull it over, but it ran again, and again police called of the pursuit, this time due to dangerous speeds, the prosecutor's office said. Soon after, Montgomery County sheriff's deputies spotted the SUV in Jefferson Twp. and tried to pull it over, but for a third time the driver fled, finally crashing into another vehicle at the intersection of Little Richmond Road and North Snyder Road. The driver, later identified as Parlett, fled on foot but was captured after a short chase. According to the prosecutor's office, One of the passengers in the stolen SUV, 15-year-old Jaden McClaskey, was critically injured in the crash and died two days later. Another juvenile passenger was also injured but survived. Parlett had been arrested a few days before this incident after he wrecked a different stolen vehicle, the prosecutor's office said. He is currently in the Montgomery County Jail, and is scheduled for arraignment June 24.
