Ruth allegedly refused to pull over for a Lebanon police officer around 2 a.m. Saturday near the intersection of westbound Ohio 63 and Ohio 48.
Police said the subsequent chase continued on Ohio 63 west into Monroe for about 7 miles.
Police said it ended when Ruth crashed his vehicle into a pole at Corridor Park Drive.
Ruth was arrested at the scene on suspicion of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, driving with a suspended license and failure to comply, according to the release.
Passenger Heather Duttweiler, also of West Chester Twp., was taken to the hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
