EARLIER
Cantrell was apprehended following a chase and search of an area in and around the Deer Cliff Run neighborhood in Tipp City. Troopers with the Ohio Highway Patrol post in Piqua, deputies with the Miami County Sheriff’s Office and Butler Twp. police assisted Tipp City police.
The chase and search began about 2 p.m. when a male suspect in a theft, later identified as Cantrell, ran from a traffic stop on I-75 South, in an area just west of the interstate and south of Tipp City.
The officers set up a perimeter near the Deer Cliff Run neighborhood. Tipp City Schools sent parents a message that buses carrying high school and middle school students would be rerouted to the middle school instead of to their bus stops because of the search.
