Man who shot at police sentenced to 94 years in prison
DAYTON — A man accused of shooting at police before leading them on a high-speed chase through western Montgomery County last year was sentenced to 94 years in prison Wednesday, March 18.
The sentence handed down by Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Dennis J. Langer is to be consecutive with the 42-year sentence Rayshaun D. Hudson will serve from Clark County, said Hudson’s attorney William Daly.
Hudson, 31, of 215 W. Nottingham Road, pleaded guilty Jan. 20 to all charges in his indictment, including multiple charges of felonious assault, failure to comply, according .
The charges stem from a series of incidents on June 2, when Hudson shot at or near county sheriff’s deputies and a New Lebanon police detective, robbed a New Lebanon feed store, leading police on the chase and taking a car.
Dayton police Lt. Randy Beane said in June it was the “wildest police chase I’ve seen in my 32 years” of police work.
The chase started when sheriff’s Maj. John Brands and Capt. Rob Streck spotted Rayshaun D. Hudson in a maroon Ford Explorer just before 1 p.m. near Ohio Route 4 and Germantown Pike.
As Hudson was turning around, he fired two shots at Brands and Streck, according to Sheriff Phil Plummer.
Trotwood and Dayton police quickly joined the chase before a Trotwood officer lost control of his car on U.S. 35, just before the Gettysburg Avenue exit, about 1:20 p.m.
Sgt. Richard Wright was attempting to cross a raised median while trying to avoid eastbound traffic when he lost control. The car flipped on its top. Wright was treated and released from Miami Valley Hospital.
Hudson’s SUV became soon inoperable and he bailed out. He then carjacked a Jeep Cherokee.
The hour-long chase ended when the jeep collided head-on with an unmarked Montgomery County sheriff’s car and careened into the front porch of a home in the 1100 block of Burleigh Avenue.
