Toledo man leads police on chase that ended in crash, refusing to let others out of the car
By: A Toledo man is facing a slew of charges after police say he led officers on a chase that ended in an injury crash with several other people in the car, including a child.
Erick Idrogo, 25, of Toledo, is facing five counts of Abduction Restrain Liberty, an Aggravated Vehicular Assault charge, a Failure to Comply charge, an Obstructing Official Business charge and other traffic offenses for an early morning chase on May 24. A judge set his bond at $50,000 across two of the abduction charges.
According to police records, Washington Township Police tried to stop Idrogo for a traffic violation just after midnight on May 24. He took off and led officers on a chase that entered Toledo’s jurisdiction. TPD joined in at I-280 South at Manhattan and continued the pursuit until Idrogo crashed at Starr Avenue. The chase went on for about eight miles.
Charging documents allege he created “a great risk of physical harm” by refusing to allow a juvenile and four adults exit the vehicle, forcing them to be involved in the police pursuit. The chase ended that caused at least one other person to be hospitalized, affidavits say. He then allegedly tried to run away from the scene.
He’s due back in court on June 5 for a preliminary hearing.
