(6-13-23) Monday night a Sidney Police Department lieutenant was running a traffic radar in the 100 block of North Main Avenue when a silver F-150 sped through it.
The lieutenant tried to pull the truck over but the driver, Hiram Robert II (25), decided to try and evade the officer.
Officers learned during the chase that the driver had several outstanding warrants.
The truck went into the county where it slowed down and let out an unidentified female passenger, then continued through a farm field and then over a fence before Robert got out of the vehicle and ran into the woods on Sharpe Road.
A perimeter was set up and a K9 was called in from Shelby County’s Sheriff’s Office to help search.
The search ended when Robert eventually stood up in the woods and turned himself into the police.
Robert is being charged with Failure to Comply with Order or Signal of a Police Officer and an elude or flee charge. He is presently being housed in the Shelby County Jail with no bond.
