CINCINNATI —

The juvenile who is charged in the hit and run death of a UC student, was still under court supervision for running over a deputy less than a year ago.

Court documents show the same juvenile is accused of running over people, using a stole vehicle to do it and leaving the scene in two separate cases.

“October 15th, 2021. That date, I'm not going to forget. I can assure you my family won't forget. Still haunts me to this day,” said Boone County deputy Lt. Chris Hall.

Hall said deputies were investigating a rash of stolen vehicle when the suspects were spotted in Union driving a stolen vehicle.

As deputies approached the car sped thorough yards and almost hit a deputy and took off.

Hall said he thought the vehicle was going to head from Rt. 42 in Florence, onto I-75, going the wrong way.

As he prepared to throw stop sticks, Hall said the car suddenly changed direction and headed directly at him.

“He made a hard right. And I remember hearing the engine. I remember hearing it accelerate,” Hall said. “I remember seeing the BMW logo right here.”

Hall was hospitalized and was off work for about three months.

The juvenile was charged with the attempted murder of a police officer but pleaded to the lesser charge of assault.

Court documents said a one year jail sentence with suspended and he was “released to mom.”

The latest charges for the juvenile are after two UC students were hit on Jefferson Avenue. Cayden Turner, 18, was killed.

The 17-year-old suspect is accused of driving a stolen vehicle, hitting the two students, crashing then running from the scene.

The same juvenile was arrested for having a loaded Glock in his vehicle in June.
