Heroin Found After Car Chase In Solon, Police Say

SOLON, OH — Heroin was thrown from a vehicle during a police car chase on Tuesday afternoon.

While on patrol near Cochran Road, an officer ran a registration check on a vehicle. He learned the owner of the car had an active felony warrant for his arrest. The officer put on his lights and tried to pull the car over.

Instead of stopping, the other car sped up and flew south down Cochran. Officers pursued the car into Glenwillow, and during the chase the pursued driver tossed several items from his vehicles.

The car eventually stopped at the end of Tinkers Court, police said. The driver, a 32-year-old Cleveland man, was arrested and taken to Solon Correction Center. Officers also checked the area where the tossed items appeared to have been thrown.

Police said they found a digital scale that was thrown from the man's car. Police then searched the man's car and found a packet of powder, which tested positive for heroin.

The 32-year-old has been charged with fleeing and eluding, tampering with evidence, conveyance of drugs into a jail, and drug possession and falsification.
