Officers caught up with James Thomas a few minutes later and arrested him for probation violation, though his mother declined to file a criminal damaging report for the car incident.
This was the 31st time the 42-year-old man has been in the Scioto County Jail.
In 2022, police arrested him four times on charges including probation violation, resisting arrest, criminal damaging, and obstructing official business.
