PIQUA-- Two men are behind bars after leading police on a high speed chase. It started around 1:00 Thursday morning on I-75 South near U.S. 36 and County Road 25A, when troopers tried to stop a driver for traffic violations.
The driver pulled over, but as the trooper approached he took off. The chase headed towards Troy topping speeds of 100 miles per hour. Tipp City Police got involved and helped deploy stop sticks on the highway. It worked and the driver was forced to stop.
He then tried running, but was quickly caught. Both the driver and the passenger are being held in the Miami County Jail on outstanding warrants. Their other charges are pending.
