EATON, Ohio (WDTN) - Deputies in Preble County arrested a wanted suspect Sunday afternoon after a short chase.
They spotted Willie Asher, 39, of Eaton, Ohio driving a black Ford pick-up truck in the 7400 block of Eaton Oxford Road around noon, according to Chief Deputy Mike Spitler. After a short vehicle pursuit, Asher took off running before he was finally caught, Spitler said.
