ROSS COUNTY, Ohio — A Ross County man attempted to run from U.S. Marshals as they executed an arrest warrant at his residence.
According to the Ross County Sheriff’s Office, Chase Daugherty, of 7545 SR 28, Frankfort, was wanted for felony domestic violence. When Marshals arrived at the private lane leading to the residence, reports say, Daugherty was spotted getting into a black Jeep Wrangler. He then attempted to flee the scene at a high rate of speed.
Daugherty, the Sheriff’s Office said, drove through several yards, and through a fence in an attempt to escape from law enforcement. He ultimately crashed into a wooded area, where deputies say he became stuck.
He would eventually be taken into custody and transported to the Ross County Jail.
In addition to his current charges, Daugherty now faces failure to comply with the order or signal of a police officer.
