Motorcycle Rider Flees Ohio Deputies Then Reaches for Gun

* (Disclaimer: The content in this video is intended for educational and informational purposes only) Denmark Township, Ohio — On Monday, September 08, 2025, at approximately 2:41 p.m., a Deputy with the Ashtabula County Sheriff's Office (ACSO) observed a red motorcycle, later discovered to be operated by 54-year-old Jerry Pegram, in the area of Dwight Avenue and East 48th Street in the city of Ashtabula. The Deputy attempted to initiate a stop on the vehicle, but Pegram failed to comply and led the Deputy on a pursuit. The pursuit continued for several minutes. As the pursuit went on, additional Law Enforcement Officers joined. By the end of the pursuit, an additional three ACSO Deputies joined in the pursuit. Additionally, one Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) Trooper, was trailing the pursuit with permission to assist the ACSO if Pegram fled on foot. During the course of the pursuit, Deputies noted multiple times that Pegram was throwing items from the motorcycle. The deputies described the items as both “packages” and “baggies” at various points. The speeds remained relatively low according to the deputies' radio traffic, and civilian traffic was reported as minimal to non-existent. The vehicle pursuit lasted for 22 minutes and ended at 3:03 p.m. when units reported that Pegram had wrecked his motorcycle in the area of Anderson Road and Stanhope-Kelloggsville Road in Denmark Township. Following the wreck, Pegram exited his motorcycle and fled on foot into a wooded area to the North of Anderson Road. While in the woods an officer engaged Pegram, and had a short physical altercation with Pegram in an attempt to subdue him. When one officer arrived in the area, he deployed a taser which was ultimately ineffective. As the officers continued their attempts to detain Pegram, they reported that Pegram reached under his clothing and began to manipulate a black pistol. While Pegram was attempting to control the weapon, an Officer yelled "GUN, GUN, GUN!" Shortly thereafter the officers on scene opened fire, striking Pegram multiple times. Following the shooting, an Officer placed Pegram in handcuffs, and various Deputies of the ACSO attempted to render aid to Pegram. Pegram was eventually pronounced deceased on the scene. Officers removed a firearm from a holster that was on Pegram's Person and rendered it safe. The firearm was documented and collected by BCI Crime Scene Agents. 🚨𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑙 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑥𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑑𝑜𝑐𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑦𝑠𝑖𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑢𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑢𝑏𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑙𝑦 𝑎𝑣𝑎𝑖𝑙𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑠. ⚠️𝑉𝑖𝑒𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑠 𝑎𝑑𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠 𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑡.⚠️ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special thanks to Shout-Out Supporters on Patreon: - 'DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse' - 'The Evil Queen' - Benjamin Osgood - Gary Wilson - LJ - Chase - Tavia Shields - Edward Aquino - Brianna Wilkins - Eian Smith - brandon - William - Hunter - Cammy - Elisabeth Craig - Bobby Roach - Sarin Dipity - Becky Hopkins - Bagpiper Joshua Agee - thomas - Cody Stephens - Troy Polansky - Tulla Belle - 'quadrakyiro' - Scott Mackin - "John B.
