A police cruisers dashboard camera captured 35-year-old John Ford of Cleveland grabbing the paper with his mouth as police emptied his pockets. Ford was arrested following a report of a bank robbery in Streetsboro just south of Cleveland on Thursday. Police said a man walked into the bank and handed a teller a note that demanded money. The whereabouts of the note demanding money came into question after Ford was taken into custody and Streetsboro investigators asked whether officers had found the piece of paper. Twinsburg police reviewed the images captured on camera and said they observed Ford leaning over to eat something off the hood of the cruiser. Police say they found money in a bag in Ford's car, which fit the description of the bank robber's vehicle, along with a bank die pack that had exploded and a 38-calibre pistol. Ford was being held in the Portage County Jail on Saturday where his file did not indicate he had a lawyer. Ford is also a suspect in bank robberies in Stow and Akron.

WHO STOPPED THE SHERIFF? 2007
QUAKER CITY, Ohio -- The State Highway Patrol says the Columbiana County sheriff was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol after a trooper saw him weaving in and out of lanes at 81 mph. Video recorded by a trooper's dashboard-mounted camera recorded the arrest. According to the report, after David Smith failed field sobriety tests, he identified himself as a sheriff and asked the arresting trooper to let him go because he was running for re-election next year. "Can't you just let me go home?" asked a voice, identified as Smith on the video. "Could you do that in Columbiana County?" asked the trooper. "Yes, if it was me, yes," responded Smith. The patrol says Smith was driving home from the Buckeye State Sheriff's Association dinner when he was pulled over Thursday night in Guernsey County. Smith was handcuffed and taken to the Cambridge patrol post, where he submitted a urine sample for testing and was charged with operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated
Driver Escapes on Foot (2008)
The city police department is reviewing a dashboard video of a 20-minute, high-speed chase Saturday night to determine whether the pursuit should have been allowed to continue. The chase followed a traffic stop in Niles in which the driver, identified by police as Harley Tibbs, 28, of South Street, Niles, was pulled over for speeding on U.S. Route 422. But when the Niles police officer approached the 2002 Chevrolet Blazer, Tibbs took off, turned right on state Route 46 and then left on Mines Road, authorities said. By this time, the Niles police officer had been advised by his supervisor to end the pursuit. Officers at that point had information on the owner of the car. The officer followed behind at a distance without lights and siren in order to advise where the vehicle was headed, according to Niles police. A few minutes later, at about 8:30 p.m., the vehicle headed into Warren, where Patrolmen David Weber and John Marks Jr. spotted it on South Street near state Route 169. After traveling a few blocks on South Street, the officers saw fellow officer Detective Sgt. Michael Merritt pulling onto South Street ahead of Tibbs’ vehicle and contacted him to help stop the vehicle. Merritt stopped his police investigations van at a green light at the intersection with Pine Street near the Warren police station, while Weber stopped his cruiser along the left side of the SUV. As Merritt and Marks got out of their vehicles to apprehend Tibbs, Tibbs drove forward, hitting the rear of the police van and driving over the sidewalk to escape into the police department parking lot, Warren police said. The vehicle proceeded north on Park Avenue with Weber in pursuit but Marks no longer in the vehicle. By about that point, Warren police had identified the driver. Twenty minutes later, after a high-speed pursuit that followed Champion Avenue, State Road, Templeton Road, U.S. Route 422, Leavitt Road and several other — mostly rural — roads, Tibbs crashed the SUV at the intersection of Braceville Robinson and Eagle Creek roads in Braceville Township, police said. Capt. Tim Bowers of the Warren police said he had begun to review the videotape and other information on the chase to determine whether officers made the right choice to pursue Tibbs. Weber’s vehicle, which was equipped with a “push bumper,” also crashed into the rear of the SUV, causing a small amount of damage to the cruiser. No injuries were reported, though the Niles policeman reported that he narrowly escaped having his foot run over. Weber gave a brief foot chase for Tibbs but Tibbs was not found. The female passenger in the vehicle, the registered owner of the vehicle, was still inside at the time and told officers she didn’t know why Tibbs fled. Tibbs was arrested Sunday and arraigned in the municipal courts in Niles and Warren on charges including felonious assault, failure to comply, fleeing and eluding, and driving under suspension. He remains in Trumbull County Jail in lieu of bonds totaling $225,000.
