Stolen Dodge Charger Smokes Ohio Troopers Twice
Read the full story on The Auto Wire
Dashcam footage released to the public shows a stolen Dodge Charger smoking Ohio troopers twice as they desperately try to keep up. The Hemi-powered Mopar smacks around the cops in their far less powerful cruisers. It's not even close to a fair don't see too many interesting chases from Ohio State Patrol, but of those we've covered they're a mix between utterly embarrassing and at least pretty good. Obviously, troopers there can't do the types of things they can in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, etc.
But we're not sure if troopers in those other states would've fared any better versus this stolen Charger. It looks like a Scat Pack, so it's a legitimately fast muscle car few police cruisers could catch.
For the first chase, as soon as it became obvious the trooper was going to give chase, thanks to the broken back window and lack of a license plate, the suspect just dropped the hammer and pulled away effortlessly. It wasn't even a contest.
Thanks to the might of the radio, another trooper sees the same distinct Charger a few hours later and tries to give chase. We emphasize the word 'tries' here because it's the same story: the police cruiser can't even begin to keep up with the Mopar muscle car.
The suspect wasn't smart enough to put a license plate on the stolen vehicle or fix the broken rear window. But he was smart enough to ditch the car after he was made twice. Police found the stolen Dodge ditched in a parking lot.
It also looks like the suspect driver hit something in his flight, damaging one of the tires. A witness tried helping the guy and his accomplice who arrived in another car, but couldn't figure out why they weren't more interested in getting the Charger's tire fixed. We guess fixing a stolen car doesn't seem like a good idea.
Thankfully, the owner should be getting the Dodge back with minimal damage, although the insurance company might total it out just for it being stolen.
