On Wednesday, September 20, officers from the Kenton Police Department attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a 2017 tan Ford SUV, which officers believed was being operated by thirty-five-year-old Wayne A. Tolson, of Kenton. Officers had been searching for Tolson for several days after a warrant was issued by Hardin County Common Pleas Court for violating the terms of his bond. The original charge originated from an F2 felonious assault, domestic violence case, from May of this year, in Kenton.
Once officers attempted to stop the vehicle as it fled westbound onto W. Columbus Street and then westbound onto State Route 309. The pursuit continued westbound on 309 toward Ada.
