Ohio police apprehended a fugitive wanted on multiple outstanding warrants following a high-speed crash Saturday, marking the 29th time the suspect had been arrested.

The pursuit between Alliance police and a suspect identified as William Woolf, 41, began at about 7 p.m., WOIO-TV reports. Dashboard and body camera footage released Tuesday captured the chase and the arrest.

During the pursuit, Woolf reached speeds of 105 mph. He also threw objects at the officers' cruisers, including a tire iron and even chocolate milk. 

Woolf continued fleeing on two flat tires. Police deployed spike strips, which disabled Woolf's vehicle.

The chase ended when Woolf crashed into a sign and his car stopped in a field. Officers descended on the vehicle, and he was taken into custody.

Woolf faces several charges, including felony fleeing, felony vandalism, felonious assault and possession of methamphetamine. The suspect also had outstanding warrants from Canton and Carroll and Start counties.

Saturday's arrest marks the 29th time Woolf, who has 19 open driver's license suspensions, was apprehended. He also fled from authorities during two of his previous arrests.
