Two minors charged after car chase in Ravenna

- Natalie Wolford

The Portage County Sheriff’s Office arrested and charged a juvenile driver with failure to comply, theft of a motor vehicle and driving without an operator’s license. One passenger, a minor, was charged with marijuana possession and released, and a second juvenile passenger was also released.

According to a statement posted on the sheriff’s office Facebook page, the officers attempted a traffic stop for a window tint violation when the driver failed to pull over and engaged the officers in a brief pursuit in Ravenna. The car eventually stopped after driving through a yard on Lake Rockwell Road.
