Multiple agencies contribute to keeping public safe during lengthy police chase
WILLOUGHBY, Ohio (WJW) — A police chase that started in Willowick and involved a carjacking ultimately ended in Bainbridge Township on Wednesday night, according to officials. Jacob Montgomery, 32, faces four felonies and other pending charges, while a woman in the car with him, Stacey Camplese, was also hit with criminal charges. Dashboard camera video from multiple agencies shows how the crash played out. Sauder Elementary third-grader caught with loaded gun in backpack: police It started in Willowick, where Montgomery backed his blue Subaru into a police cruiser during a traffic stop and then took off, officials said. He led officers into Willoughby and then Wickliffe where they eventually lost him. Police then got a call minutes later about a carjacking in Willoughby. Officials told FOX 8 News that Montgomery stopped at a home on state Route 84, ditched his car, threatened a woman with a tire iron and took her white Nissan. Kirtland officers soon located the car and the chase was back on. Detective Lt. John Begovic with the Willoughby Police Department told FOX 8 News that it took coordination from multiple agencies, as the chase moved from city to city, to eventually slow Montgomery down with stop sticks. 'That's crucial getting that early information where the officers can then respond to that area and then set up either closing off the intersection, letting that car through — because again, our main focus is the safety of people out there,' he said. Attorney representing Aliza Sherman's alleged killer says criminal complaint is 'vague': I-Team From there, officials said Montgomery led them all the way to a GetGo on state Route 306, just north of U.S. Route 422. They said he crashed into an embankment, then a gas pump and attempted to once again ditch the car and steal someone else's — but he was apprehended. 'Just when you think you've seen everything, something like this comes up,' Begovic said. 'Again, unfortunately, there are many people out there that want to take this risk. They don't care about themselves and they definitely do not care about the general public.' Montgomery has already been arraigned in Lake County and is being held without bond, pending his next court appearance. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
