The two males now could be facing charges of fleeing and eluding, registration violation and possibly more, depending on the check of the merchandise found in their car, Simmons said.
FIRST REPORT
Two males have been arrested in a pursuit through several Dayton streets involving the Ohio Highway Patrol.
We're working to learn what prompted the chase, which we're told reached speeds of at least 50 mph on residential streets that included East Siebenthaler Avenue and Riverside Drive.
The arrests were made just before 9 p.m. in the 400 block of Redwood Avenue, three or four blocks from where "an article of clothing" was found by police on East Siebenthaler, in the area of Riverside Drive.
The pursuit is believed to have occurred between 8:30 p.m. and 8:50 p.m. It began on I-75 in Harrison Twp. and continued into Dayton.
We will update this developing report as warranted.
