Last weekend Niekamp was accused of striking Trooper Steve Tharp as Tharp found Niekamp’s car parked partially on Interstate 75 north of Sidney, troopers said.
State troopers said there was a 9-minute, 11-mile pursuit that ended near the Shelby Auglaize County line with Niekamp taken into custody.
If Niekamp is convicted as charged he could face a maximum of 15 years in prison and fines totaling $30,000.
