NOVEMBER 9, 2018 – A Delaware County Grand Jury has returned a four-count indictment against 25-year-old Spencer S. Osborn of Delaware.
Charges come after a July 3, 2018 high-speed chase that started in Delaware and ended in Ostrander during the early morning hours.
“When the driver of a 2003 Dodge Ram failed to pull over for law enforcement, a chase ensued,” said Delaware County Prosecutor Carol O’Brien. “Speeds reached 100 mph and ended with the truck veering off the roadway, coming to rest in a ditch.”
It was determined the truck had been stolen from a Delaware resident. The driver fled on foot and was not captured.
“Later that day, law enforcement became aware a second vehicle, a Cadillac Eldorado, had been stolen from an Ostrander resident in the area where the pursuit ended,” O’Brien said. “That vehicle was later found empty in Columbus close to the location where yet another vehicle, a GMC truck, had been reported stolen.”
Osborn is charged with failure to comply with order or signal of police officer – a third-degree felony, and three counts of receiving stolen property – all fourth-degree felonies.
An arraignment has not yet been set.
