BRUNSWICK, Ohio — A 33-year-old man from Medina was arrested after leading state troopers on a chase down I-71 before losing control of his vehicle resulting in a rollover crash near State Route 303 Wednesday.
The driver, a 33-year-old Medina man, was charged with failure to comply, OVI, possession of a Schedule II controlled substance and possession of drug abuse instruments.
