Huber Heights chase suspect remains hospitalized, charged in case

HUBER HEIGHTS — A Huber Heights man accused of leading police of a high-speed chase that ended with the SUV flipping in the air remains in the hospital.

Michael Damron, 53, is charged with OVI, failure to comply, improper handling of a gun, aggravated menacing and domestic violence, court records show.

Damron was arrested after the crash on Endicott Road Wednesday around 3 a.m.

The 53-year-old was taken to Miami Valley Hospital, where he remained in good condition Thursday morning.

The pursuit began shortly after a woman called 911 and said her soon-to-be ex-husband threatened her, that he wouldn’t let her leave or get ready for work. She said that her husband told her they’d both die if she left.

While responding to the call, police spotted Damron’s SUV and he sped off with officers in pursuit.

After the crash, police surrounded Damron’s vehicle with their guns drawn.

Officers recovered two guns from the vehicle, according to emergency dispatch records.
