Dayton police deployed a tire deflation device as the pursuit approached U.S. 35. which punctured and deflated the right-front tire of the SUV. While troopers and police attempted to surround the SUV and bring it to a stop, the SUV crashed into the back of a cruiser, causing minor damage, state troopers said.
Fife was arrested after the pursuit ended just south of the U.S. 35 interchange.
Fife told investigators he ran because he had an outstanding warrant for his arrest, investigators said.
No injuries were reported and additional details were not available.
