Findlay, Ohio — A Tiffin man was arrested Friday evening after fleeing police officers in Findlay.

At 7:09 p.m., an officer with the Findlay Police Department attempted a traffic stop on a vehicle at the intersection of Milton St. and Hull Ave. for a peeling tires violation.

The driver, 18-year-old Tayshaun S. Tucker, of Tiffin, allegedly failed to stop for police and a short pursuit ensued.
