A man wanted in the dragging of an Ohio State Highway Patrol trooper has turned himself in.

The patrol says Todd A. Davison II turned himself into the Stark County Jail, and was then taken to Portage County Jail.

Davison was charged with felony assault, and failure to comply with the order of an officer.

Sgt. Jeff Greene from the Ravenna patrol post suffered only minor injuries after being dragged by a car Saturday night on State Route 225.

Sgt. Greene pulled over the driver and told him to shut off the ignition. That never happened and he took off with Greene's arm still inside.

He was dragged about 50 feet but got up, hopped back in his cruiser and chased him, sometimes hitting 100 miles per hour.

An early Christmas morning crash killed two people on a Portage County road.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol's Ravenna post say a van traveling east on Route 5 near Route 225 in Paris Township went left of center, and struck a car driven by a Newton Falls woman.

The head on crash caught the car struck on fire, and it went off the side of the road.

The car's driver, 39 year-old Sonya Diaz, died, as did the driver of the van. That driver's name isn't being released pending coroner's identification and notification of family members.

The crash is still under investigation.
