Wisconsin Fugitive Ends Life After Ohio Chase

03/24/2008 10:19:40




DELTA, Ohio (AP) -- The State Highway Patrol says a fugitive from Wisconsin took his own life after being chased by troopers in northwest Ohio.

The patrol says officers gave pursuit Sunday after a check of the license plate showed the car had been reported stolen last week. Wisconsin authorities say 44-year-old Mark Peters failed to return from work-release on March 14. Peters was serving a one-year jail sentence for disorderly conduct and domestic abuse.    

With troopers after him, Peters exited the Ohio Turnpike at state Route 109 in Fulton County, crashing through the toll gate.
