The Scioto County Grand Jury handed down indictments against a pair who led officers on a high-speed chase two weeks ago.
Parolee Bradley Quantez, 37, and Chelsea Workman, 26, both of West Portsmouth, face charges of felonious assault, failure to comply, obstructing official business, and inducing panic.
It all started when a traffic stop on US 52. Police tried to pull over a vehicle that fled the scene. The driver headed into New Boston, traveling over 80 miles an hour.
Several units joined in the pursuit and managed to pop the vehicle’s tire. Officers detained Quantez and Workman and learned Quantez had an open warrant for a parole violation.
Police said they found an ammunition magazine in the passenger seat, and they later went back out with the woman in search of an item from the car. A K9 officer also joined in the search.
Quantez is on parole for having weapons under a disability and non-support. He was released on parole back in October of last year.
The two face up to 8 years in prison and a $15,000 fine for the felonious assault charge, plus 180 days in jail for failure to comply. If convicted on the obstruction charge, the court could be sentenced to up to 12 months plus another 180 days for inducing panic.
