Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputies said Harbarger stole the BMW from Clark County and he was chased along northbound Interstate 75. He was “driving erratically and at a high rate of speed,” according to an affidavit filed in Montgomery County Municipal Court - Eastern Division in Huber Heights. He stuck a bystander as well.
Authorities were involved in a chase and a police officer crashed into another vehicle in an incident separate from the multi-vehicle crash.
Harbarger continued to drive erratically and struck a Jeep Cherokee after going left of center, struck the Ford F-150, which then struck a Honda Civic, according to the affidavit.
He fled on foot from the car and was arrested by officers in the parking lot of nearby business.
The affidavit said Harbinger reportedly admitted to heroin use and showed signs of impairments.
No other update is available about any other people involved in the incidents at this time.
