According to Clermont County Sheriff A.J. “Tim” Rodenberg, Zebulon Fletcher, 32, of Bethel stole a car in Colerain Township and crashed the car near state Route 756 and Fruit Ridge Road in Franklin Township.
After crashing the stolen car, Fletcher stole a 73-year-old woman’s car who had driven up on the crash site, according to police. The woman was not injured in the crash.
Fletcher drove the women’s car a few hundred feet and caused another crash involving two more cars that resulted in injuries to two people.
