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.

More details are being released about the high-speed chase on Tuesday through Allen and Van Wert counties. The man driving the semi-tractor that led police on a two hour chase was Terry “Rusty" Pierce Jr. He is known to have lived in Spencerville. We now know the semi he was driving was in fact stolen from Van Wert County. That may have been the criminal complaint Spencerville Police referred to when they tried to pull Pierce over Tuesday morning. He proceeded to drive around Allen County before taking a trip on U.S 30 into Van Wert County.
