Two men were taken to the hospital after crashing into a Subway restaurant in Cleveland overnight.
According to Cuyahoga County spokesperson Jennifer Ciaccia, deputies from the Downtown Safety Patrol attempted a traffic stop on a stolen vehicle, but it sped off. A supervisor denied permission to chase, according to Ciaccia.
The vehicle crashed around 1 a.m. at East 17th Street and Superior Avenue.
Cleveland EMS said two men in their 50s were transported to Metro Hospital with minor injuries.
They have since been detained.
A gun and suspected fentanyl pills were recovered from the scene.
The driver has been charged with having a weapon under disability and receiving stolen property.
The Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Department is investigating the crash.
There have been concerns with the Downtown Safety Patrol regarding chases over the last few months.
