A man riding a motorized wheelchair was apprehended following a low-speed police chase in Elyria, Ohio, on Monday.
Complaints had trickled in over the last few days after a man was
spotted riding his mobility scooter on roads and into traffic, even
keying vehicles as he went by.
On Monday, Elyria police attempted to take action and pull the man over, but the man, later identified as 31-year-old Graham L. Ley, evaded the officers by cutting across four lanes of traffic. A low-speed chase ensued as Ley rode onto a sidewalk, refusing to pull over.
A second patrol car was deployed, stopping Ley and his scooter.
After a short struggle, officers placed Ley under arrest and took him to
the Lorain County Jail where he's being charged with resisting arrest,
obstructing official business, disorderly conduct, criminal damage, and
failure to comply. His chair was later picked up by LifeCare Ambulance.
