COLUMBUS, Ohio — A man is in police custody after allegedly trying to flee officers near Hilliard Wednesday morning.
Columbus Division of Police Sgt. James Fuqua said dispatchers told officers in the area that someone reported a suspicious vehicle just after 3 a.m. at an apartment complex along Hilliard-Rome Road near Summerlin Way.
Fuqua said officers approached Brandon Webb, 43, in the vehicle when they arrived and started talking to him.
Body camera video from officers shows Webb attempting drive off and flee officers, causing significant property damage.
Officers found Webb at a nearby business, where Fuqua said he crashed into parked cars before being taken into custody.
