Sheriffs from Allen, Paulding, and Van Wert counties came together to fill everyone in on what was found in the investigation into Terry “Rusty” Pierce Jr. Pierce stole a semi-tractor on Sept. 3 and led police on a high-speed chase for nearly two hours. He took multiple agencies into three different counties. At the very end, he began to drive into oncoming traffic on U.S. 30. There was no question the investigation found pierce was a danger to the public.
