The chase continued south on State Road 37 and then west on State Road 62. The pursuit lasted approximately 10 minutes until the vehicle pulled into a driveway.

When other officers arrived, they attempted to place handcuffs on Patterson, but he still refused commands.

Trooper Villanueva was assisted by Master Trooper Darryl Terryl, Perry County Sheriff’s Office, and Ohio Valley Towing.
