(Aurora, Ind.) - A Vevay man has been jailed following a police pursuit through Dearborn and Ohio counties.
Aurora Police were on routine patrol on Tuesday evening around 7:26 p.m. when a silver 1995 Chevy Blazer was observed weaving in-and-out of traffic on U.S. 50 near State Road 148. As the vehicle was turning onto Importing Street, the driver, identified as Brandon J. White, was seen disposing of a burning cigarette ash out of the driver s side window.
At that time, police attempted to initiate a traffic stop on Importing Street, but the driver continued on and disregarded stop signs and traffic lights before proceeding at a high rate of speed onto State Road 56, according to a probable cause affidavit.
Flooding is expected to continue into Friday morning, with otherwise cool, dry weather forecast for the remainder of the week.
A flood warning remains in effect for the Ohio River at Cincinnati until Saturday evening, according to the National Weather Service in Wilmington, Ohio.
A flood stage of 56.8 feet was recorded Thursday evening. As of 6 a.m. Friday the river was at 56.33 feet. The river is expected to rise to a crest of 56.8 feet early Friday morning. It will then fall below flood stage early Saturday afternoon, forecasters said.
At 57 feet, flooding begins to surround homes in the low-lying areas in East End, California, Anderson Township and New Richmond in Clermont County.
