Tevyn Wilkins is currently being held without bond at Shelby County Jail on failure to comply and contempt charges, online records show.

According to a release by Sidney police, an officer spotted Wilkins and attempted to arrest him due to outstanding warrants. Once he pulled over in an apartment complex on East North Street, Wilkins would not exit the vehicle and fled the scene, prompting the start of the pursuit.

The pursuit began southbound on County Road 25A to Piqua, before Wilkins got on I-75 from Piqua and exited into Troy.

Wilkins resumed his route on I-75, going northbound before heading back south on the interstate.

Stop sticks were deployed on northbound I-75 near Troy and he was taken into custody after the vehicle was disabled, the release stated.

Officers from the Sidney and Troy Police Departments, along with the Miami County Sheriff’s Office and the Ohio State Highway Patrol, were involved with the pursuit.

A spokesman with Sidney police said he will also face charges related to the pursuit.
