Strongsville, Ohio -- The following is a narrative from the case report that has been slightly edited for publication and clarity: "On November 17, 2024, at approximately 1610 hours, I was dispatched to 16996 Southpark Ctr (Dillard’s) in regards to a theft complaint. Dispatch advised the vehicle involved was possibly stolen, and 7104 indicated that this vehicle had been involved in several crimes and pursuits with other police departments in recent weeks. I located the suspect vehicle in the north parking lot of Kohl’s. Due to the possibility of the vehicle being stolen, 7110 and I conducted a felony stop on the vehicle, orienting our firearms at the driver, identified as [Driver], and the front seat passenger, later identified as Jason Nyquist. 7110 a terminator spike strip under the rear passenger-side tire while we issued commands to both [Driver] and Nyquist. During this time, Nyquist exhibited constant furtive and sporadic movements. The driver, [Driver], was cooperative and exited the vehicle without incident. I directed [Driver] to walk backward with his hands on his head towards 7119, who arrived on the scene to assist. During this time, the front seat passenger, Nyquist, jumped into the driver’s seat and fled the scene. Nyquist recklessly exited the parking lot at a high rate of speed, swerving around a pedestrian who was walking in the lot. I detained [Driver], who provided an ID. 7144, 7132, 7119, and 7110 pursued Nyquist in an attempt to stop him. Nyquist was later apprehended after fleeing on foot from his vehicle and resisting officers. It was determined that Nyquist was the registered owner of the vehicle, which was listed as a Felony Vehicle. A search incident to Nyquist’s arrest was conducted on his vehicle, during which a suspected crack pipe with narcotic residue was located. During the vehicle pursuit, Nyquist ran several red traffic signals (please see 7119's and 7149's supplemental reports). Nyquist was positively identified by his state ID and BMV photograph. [Driver] was initially taken into custody pending further investigation and transported to the SPD Jail. After determining that the suspect vehicle was not stolen, [Driver] was released from jail without incident. Nyquist was subsequently arrested for - Failure to Comply (ORC 2921.331(B)), a felony of the third degree; - Resisting Arrest (ORC 2921.33(A)), a misdemeanor of the second degree; - Drug Paraphernalia (ORC 2925.14(C)(1)), a misdemeanor of the fourth degree. It was later discovered that nothing had been stolen from Dillard’s." The suspect's vehicle was entered as a "Felony Vehicle" in LEADS. This means that the vehicle was involved with a felony crime, but the identity of the suspect/driver is unknown.The suspect also had at least one warrant for theft out of North Olmsted PD. ⚠️ Footage from this video was obtained via the Ohio Public Records Act (R.C. 149.43) All persons featured on the channel are to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
