A trooper from OSHP’s Dayton Post saw a 2011 Chevrolet Impala, driven by Dorsey, driving south in the northbound lanes on State Route 741, near Mall Ring Road in Miami Twp.

After spotting the car, a traffic stop was initiated and the car was stopped in the center median on SR 741. Dashcam video obtained by News Center 7 shows the trooper speaking to the driver while he remained in the Impala. While the trooper is talking with him, the video shows the driver taking off from the scene.

The trooper chased after the Impala as it went down Kingsridge Drive. It then turned onto Lyons Road and then to Mall Ring Road near the Dayton Mall parking lot. Sgt. Frank Simmons told News Center 7′s Mike Campbell that Dorsey blew a tire when he went to turn into the parking lot.

“Of course, he was going too fast. He ended up striking a curve which immobilized his vehicle, thankfully for us,” Simmons said. “The curb helped in assisting getting that vehicle stopped.”
