(3-14-24) A Darke County Sheriff’s deputy was sitting near a fuel stop at the 5200 block of State Route 49 at 12:14 am. when he heard a vehicle start its engine and squealing tires.
The vehicle proceeded to the intersection of Darke County Industrial Way and State Route 49 and then turned onto State Route 49 without stopping at a stop sign.
The pursuit continued when the driver turned north onto U.S. 127 and fled from the deputy, forcing the pursuit to be terminated. The vehicle was later located in Gettysburg.
The driver was discovered to be Jordan Monroe (21) of Huber Heights. He has been arrested for failure to comply with the order or signal of a police officer, failure to yield at a stop sign and reckless operation.
He is presently being held in the Darke County Jail.
