SOLON, OH — Solon police chased a stolen pickup truck through the city and into Orange Village, where the chase ended in a crash. On Wednesday afternoon, police spotted a stolen pickup truck parked on Neptune Drive. Officers watched the vehicle until three men got inside and started to drive away. Police then turned on their lights and tried to pull the truck over, a department spokesperson said. However, the driver floored it and tried to elude police. A nearby officer deployed stop sticks to pop the truck's tires and end the chase. Two tires popped, but the truck continued to rattle away from police, the spokesperson said.

The three men inside the truck were taken by EMS to a nearby hospital for treatment. All three men were conscious and talking when they were taken for treatment, police said. A handgun and suspected marijuana were then found in the pickup truck, police said. No charges have yet been filed in this case, police said. However, charges should be filed this week.
