Reynolds, with Stacie Mullins and another person in the passenger seats, fled from officers who tried to stop the car he was driving around 5:30 a.m. Saturday on Ohio 122 in Madison Twp., according to deputies.
Reynolds, who is being tried as an adult in the alpaca beating case, was charged with operating a vehicle while under the influence, failure to comply with a police order, resisting arrest, reckless operation, failure to control and driving under suspension.
Mullins, 23, who also was out on bond after being charged as an alleged accomplice in the alpaca beating, was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor and booked into the Butler County Jail.
A court date for Mullins has not been set, but Assistant Prosecutor Brad Burress said the prosecutor’s office also will seek to revoke her bond today.
“Stacie told detectives they fled because the judge told them not to have any contact with each other,” said Lt. Mike Craft said.
Mullins also is charged with wrongful entrustment of a motor vehicle for allegedly permitting Reynolds to drive her car without a valid license and under the influence, according to Detective Rick Bucheit.
During the pursuit, the Camaro driven by Reynolds reached speeds of 80 mph to 90 mph, according to deputies. Stop sticks were deployed on Trenton-Franklin Road, but Reynolds attempted to avoid the tire flattening spikes and hit a tree near Michael Road, according to deputies.
Mullins, Reynolds and the third person in the car were uninjured. The third person in the vehicle was not charged.
Mullins, Reynolds and Marcus Miller, 18, are accused in the theft and beating of a 3-month-old alpaca named Masterpiece in February. Authorities said the animal was beaten, put in a truck and dumped in an abandoned barn.
Reynolds and Miller are scheduled to be back in court Tuesday, June 29, to set trial dates in their cases. Bond for Reynolds will be considered by the judge at that time. They were both 17 at the time of the alleged crime, but will be tried as adults.
