Suspect arrested in attempted shooting

Police have arrested a man in his twenties in connection with an attempted shooting and accident.  No one was hurt in the Saturday shooting attempt.

Dayton Police Sgt Mark Ponichtera says a personal dispute led to the attempted shooting on Samuel Street. Police found the suspect's car nearby.   Inside, officers found an unloaded holster.

The suspect switched cars, and was later involved in an accident on South Smithville and Argella.  The suspect's car hit a truck, which ran into a pole and broke it. The suspect took off and went to a house at 4211 Farnham where he has relatives. 

Police say they made several attempts to get the man to surrender. They did get a small child and two women out of the house. 

Officers finally called the SWAT team.  Members  made contact by phone, and  the suspect finally surrendered.  

Sgt. Ponichtera says the suspect is being uncooperative.  The two women are also being uncooperative, and may face charges. 

The truck driver and the suspect were both taken to the hospital for a check-up. The suspect will then be taken to the Montgomery County Jail. 

Officers say that the suspect has a police record.  He will face charges of assault, and felony fleeing from police.
