The suspects ran north along Trenton-Franklin Road in a wooded area near the river. Law enforcement from the Middletown Police Department and the sheriff’s office sealed off the perimeter and located the boys.
When a police dog closed in on the suspects, both teens jumped into the river. One immediately surrendered, but the other did not.
“He wasn’t going to give up,” said Lt. Mike Craft.
Sgt. Rob Whitlock went into the river and took the boy into custody without incident.
The suspects, both 17-years-old, were taken to the Middletown Police Department for questioning.
The incident remains under investigation.
