Officers arrived on scene and found a GMC Acadia, which took off and collided with a Brookville police cruiser, damaging it, according to a media release.
The suspects continued eastbound, reaching speeds over 100 miles per hour.
Englewood officers used tire-deflating devices and were able to disable the SUV.
The SUV eventually came to a stop in Trotwood.
Three teenagers, in addition to Adams, were taken into custody:
- A 15-year-old who had a felony warrant in Montgomery County
- A 15-year-old who also had a felony warrant in Montgomery County
- A 16-year-old
The GMC Acadia was confirmed to have been stolen from Brookville.
At the time it was stolen, police said it was found unlocked, with keys inside, along with a gun and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
Officers said they also recovered multiple stolen guns from the suspects, as well as other stolen items linked to thefts outside Brookville.
At least one of the teens admitted to removing ankle monitoring devices.
