WARREN — A Warren man pleaded guilty Tuesday to one of the charges stemming from his arrest in February that resulted from him leading Sharon, Pa. and Brookfield officers on a high-speed chase.

Xavier A. Ford, 24, pleaded guilty to failure to comply with the order / signal of a police officer, a third-degree felony, in front of Trumbull County Common Pleas Court Judge Sarah Kovoor. Ford will submit to a background investigation before sentencing.

According to the February police report, an officer near Brookfield Acres overheard Sharon police initiate a traffic stop, after which they said the vehicle was fleeing and heading toward Ohio on U.S. Route 62. The Brookfield officer attempted to intercept the pursuit closer to Hubbard because the suspect vehicle was driving erratically in Masury based on street names he heard over the radio. He eventually saw the vehicle being pursued by several Sharon police cruisers and was struck by it as the vehicle attempted to maneuver around his cruiser, the report states.

The pursuit eventually exceeded 130 mph on state Route 82 westbound, and the officer requested the Ohio State Highway Patrol’s assistance, who set up stop spikes around Route 82 and East Market Street in Warren.

The vehicle eventually struck spikes that were set up on state Route 11 southbound and slowed down. Ford, who was identified after stopping, quickly exited the vehicle and led several officers on a chase through the woods, the report states. He was caught quickly and handcuffed by two Sharon officers.

Ford told officers that he ran from them because he had a warrant in Pennsylvania, but it was non-extraditable from Ohio.

The officer took custody of Ford so he could be transported to Trumbull County jail, and while being transported, he told the officer that he fled from Sharon’s officers several times and took the same route he did the last time he fled.

The report states that Ford said he could normally get through Brookfield before their officers got involved because there was a delay in dispatching their officers because of the change in jurisdiction.
