CLARKSBURG, W.Va. – A suspect in an Ohio abduction was arrested Tuesday in Anmoore after a brief pursuit with police.
Anmoore police started the investigation after a welfare check was requested by officers from the Porter County Sheriff’s Department. Deputies told police in Anmoore they believed Dean Flynn, 40, of Bristolville, Ohio, had the victim in a white Jeep Wrangler with Ohio plates.
When police located Flynn in the parking lot of a hotel on Emily Drive in Clarksburg, he refused to stop. Flynn allegedly tried to elude police by passing on a double yellow line, driving in yards, and nearly striking other traffic before being apprehended.
Police took Flynn into custody at the intersection of Coplin Avenue and Phillipi Pike without incident.
The victim was found unharmed.
Flynn has been charged with fleeing with reckless indifference.
He is being held without bond at North Central Regional Jail.
