As the officer approached one of the ATV drivers, they accelerated forward, and one of them hit the officer.

The ATVs took off from the scene.
With the help of the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Ohio Adult Parole Authority, Silvers was taken into custody during the early morning hours of July 2. Turner was taken into custody later that same day.
