MORROW COUNTY â A high-speed car chase that began after a reported theft in Morrow County ended in police arresting three people on theft and trespassing charges.
Police on July 19 received a report from a man who said he was following two people who he accused of stealing items from his scrapyard, according to a press release from the Morrow County Sheriffâs Office. He told police they were driving a gray SUV and pulling a small utility trailer north on Three Mile Canyon Road toward Interstate 84.
Police responded and found the suspects travelling back roads south of Boardman and pursued them at speeds up to 70 miles per hour. As police chased the suspects through the Morrow County countryside, the trailer lost its tires, causing sparks to fly and items to fall out of the trailer.
