Miami Officer Wrecks Cruiser In Police Chase

A Miami Police officer totaled his patrol car early Friday morning (5/10) during a high speed chase just after 1:30 a.m.

Officer Jacob Hamblett chased the suspect from Oklahoma before wrecking at Highway 43 and Kentucky in Newton County. Hamblett’s patrol car became airborne after hitting the ditch when he missed a sharp curve. It’s been reported that the chase exceeded more than 100 mph.

An Oklahoma Highway Patrolman rushed Hamblett to Miami Integris Hospital. He sustained only minor injuries. His K9 was also transported to a vet hospital to be checked out.

The suspect wrecked down the road in Seneca. His name and charges have not yet been released.
