COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A Columbus man led State Highway Patrol troopers on a 100-mile chase with his wife and two children in his truck before he was apprehended.
The Highway Patrol says 43-year-old James Lewis of Columbus was charged Saturday with felony fleeing and failure to comply with the order or signal of a police officer.
State Patrol Sgt. Darren Thomas says the pursuit began Saturday night on the Ohio Turnpike after Lewis' wife reported being assaulted by her husband.
The patrol says the woman was able to slam on the brakes and pull the keys from the ignition more than an hour after the chase began. Thomas says Lewis fled on foot and was quickly captured.
The woman was treated for facial injuries. The children, ages 1 and 5, were not harmed.
