Ra’von D. Hampton is due Tuesday for his arraignment in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court. He was indicted for failure to comply with an order or signal of a police officer, obstructing official business and vandalism, all felony charges, according to a county grand jury report released Thursday.
Kettering police officers were called Nov. 12 to an apartment building in the 1500 block of Brownleigh Road after a car hit a stop sign and a couple cars in the parking lot. A nearby officer got the car stopped at another apartment complex in the 1300 block of Devon Avenue, but the driver, later identified as Hampton, drove away.

Lt. Bradley Lambert said at the time that Hampton “backed up and intentionally rammed the police cruiser, and then he did it a second time, intentionally rammed a police cruiser, which was able to get him the room hie needed to get out of that lot.”
During a pursuit that followed, Lambert said Hampton allegedly struck another car in the parking lot and a car parked in the area of Stroop and Shroyer roads.
The chase ended in the Walmart parking lot.

Hampton was arrested after he was bitten by a Kettering K-9 when he tried to run from his car. He was treated for minor injuries and booked into the Montgomery County Jail, where he has remained since his Nov. 12 arrest.
