On May 21, 2018 Timothy Rice, 32, of Norton, Ohio was found and arrested on charges of inducing panic, fleeing/eluding an officer, failure to comply, obstructing official business, resisting arrest, criminal trespass, and disorderly conduct. Quite the collection.
Earlier in the day an Ohio State Highway Patrol traffic enforcement aircraft had been working speed zone duty when the pilot reported seeing an ATV – driven by Rice along with a 21-year-old passenger – riding on the highway. The pilot called it in, but Rice refused to stop for responding officers. The result was a highly unusual three-mile chase on Ohio interstates 277 and 76 which ended with the ATV hitting a police cruiser and with Rice fleeing on foot. This exclusive video shows the pursuit from one of the troopers’ dash cams.
Officers from Akron, Barberton and Norton Police Departments joined state troopers in searching for Rice – with help from the state police aircraft – but it was hours before they found him.
Around 1:45 p.m., an area resident called the Norton Police to say they spotted Rice walking on Berry Road behind Greenlawn Cemetery. Barberton and Norton officers responded, found Rice and chased him on foot over the Interstate 76 overpass on Barber Road and into Wolf Creek while the Highway Patrol pilot – still working the search – directed officers to Rice.
Timothy A. Rice was taken to the Summit County Jail and was booked on the charges listed above. As of 3/1/19 Rice has appeared in court facing those charges three separate times. Following each occasion, Rice failed to reappear and had multiple warrants issued for his arrest. Since 2/1/19 Rice has been wanted on three bench warrants out of Barberton, Ohio.
*I know the sound in this video isn’t great; it was a lot worse before. Take it up with OSHP… state police agencies seem to have a thing for terrible audio equipment.

Lol….Crazy Ohio😂
You have an ATV but you try and run on the highway 😂😂😂
When the trooper got out of his car it doesn't even seem like he noticed the passenger standing right there
The car that was pulled over waving the trooper on 😂😂 hes like there ya go, get someone actually doing something!!!
This guys a legend
Would someone please explain to me why this man didn’t take his atv off the damn road where they can’t follow lol
Tell him to get it off the interstate, give him a warning and stop wasting time and money. The cops acted like he robbed or killed someone.
That damnd millen!!! He better park his counterfeit police helicopter and be done with his DeWitten around… ain't got no time for dat!
Rice is a dope. He should have stayed put in one of those wooded areas till nightfall. The OHP has better things to do with their time than driving around abandoned shopping mall parking lots and sleepy suburban neighborhoods. Rice was clearly never a fan of prison/POW escape literature, which would have told him that waiting till dark is one of the best ways of putting off pursuers. Unless the OHP was willing to mount a battalion-size operation of slightly-to-severely overweight personnel to find him, he could have practiced his E&E tactics and procedures and lived to fight another day, or rather, drive wrecklessly another day (endangering his and other lives).
This cop should not be a K9 unit he keeps telling the dog to shut up? the dog is as excited as you deuce bag
Dude tried to dodge the cops on a warrior 😂
That cop sounds excited…like he is ready to shoot!
So let's recap wat we just watched….for riding an ATV on the road these fuckinv idiot cops wasted hundreds of dollars of tax layers money on gasoline…helicopters..20 man hrs to catch someone for riding on a paved road??? Really? The cops endangered more lives chasing him down at high speeds than the person committing the "crime"…and they wonder why we think their idiots (with badges)
Where’s ole red
This is why if you are not mechanically inclined you never buy a retired squad car
it's amazing how much time/resources cops will exhaust hunting down a dude for driving an atv on the highway
0:27 If you look closely, you can see the suspect throw a banana peel
I don't know, seems like Mylen was giving pretty good play by play…
Okay, this is weird. I just came across this video for the 1st time & this chase is so surreal for me. I live in this area, it happened on my moms B-Day & my dad is actually buried in that cemetery…… and my grandparents!!! He goes right by the actual grave markers. What the hell??
Oh no, he didn't just drive over headstones and graves!!! Bring in the dogs. Ok, no dogs, but found and will spend a few nights resting up until his next pursuit. What an idiot.
Wow. One guy ran from police this long.
Mylen, there is a coworker that doesn't appreciate your help.
How fucking disrespectful to drive over graves with a pigcar like that!!!
"I had him take me from my house to the gas station and he gets on the highway" Riskiest pack of smokes this guy has ever gotten.
Jeremy Dewitte coulda caught them within 5-10 minutes tops
All this for driving an ATV on the highway?
atv on the highway really lmao
Cops: We will run over and destroy and put the public in harm's way or whatever we want to get our guy. Cuz dats what we do. You've be notified.
