The two-county chase Saturday that resulted in the arrest of a 19-year-old and wrecked the property of a Middletown resident.

Terry L. Smith, Jr., of Middletown, was arrested on 25 criminal and traffic charges on Saturday. Police say he ran four stop signs, four traffic lights, traveled as fast as 80 miles per hour in a 25 mile per hour zone, and struck several vehicles with his whie and red pickup truck.

And police say he has a history of not showing up to scheduled court dates. There are seven warrants for his arrest.

Smith is now in the Middletown jail on a $100,000 bond.

Middletown Division of Police Maj. Rodney Muterspaw said officers only chase a suspect if a felony had been committeed or if there’s an intent of deadly force. He ramed a city of Franklin police cruiser, “which falls under deadly force.”

The chase started around 5 p.m. Saturday police say they were attempting to make a traffic stop, but Smith fled in his pickup truck. Officers pursued smith into the city of Franklin where when he rammed a cruiser.

Smith was chased back into the city of Middletown at Interstate 75 and Ohio 122. Police say his pickup truck headed doward Dixie Highway on Coles Road when it struck several vehicles.

Smith was apprehanded after smashing his pickup truck into a utility pole on Towne Boulevard.

The chase went on Ohio Avenue and the chain-link fence that surrounded the yard of Mary Carter was destroyed, she said. She said she’s been told she’ll have to pay for the repairs.

“My fence is pretty much destroyed,” said Carter, who just had it put up in March. “I don’t think I should have to pay for it.”

And while the chase — that went as fast as 80 miles per hour — could have been worse than a destroyed fence. She plays in her back yard with her 1-year-old son and four dogs.

She said she’s surprised the pickup truck, or a chasing police cruiser, didn’t hit her house.

Carter said officers told her that she would have to try for restitution through the court, “but said at this point, if he’s in jail he won’t be able to pay anything, and if he gets out he’s not going to have a license to get a job. So basically, I’m out of luck at that point.”

Muterspaw said unfortunately this part of the chase went through residential streets and damage was caused.

“In this case, this suspect has chosen to flee from officers numerous times over the last year, but this one reached to felony level with his attempts to ram a police car,” he said. “Fortunately the officer, suspect and citizens weren’t hurt during the pursuit.”

Muterspaw said every pursuit is reviewed by supervisors.

None of the charges Smith faces in Middletown are at the felony level, though Franklin police have charged him with felonious assault, a first-degree felony. However, those charges won’t be served until’s through the Middeltown court process.

Smith is set to appear for a pre-trial hearing in Middletown Municipal Court at 1:30 p.m. Aug. 13.

Franklin police, Warren County Sheriff’s deputies and the Ohio Highway Patrol assisted in the chase.
