There are new details about the former Ripley, Ohio, police officer charged with reckless homicide. It stems from a chase that ended in a deadly crash in Kentucky.The assistant police chief of Ripley, Merv Clemons, tells WLWT Caleb Savage resigned Friday afternoon from the department after finding out he was indicted for multiple offenses. The mayor of Ripley says Savage was working as an officer up until the day charges were filed. "He always treated everyone with respect. We've never had complaints against him for that and now we have this," Ripley's mayor, Nowana Bingaman, said. "I'm actually the mayor that hired him."Savage is at the center of a Kentucky State Police investigation after a chase from Aberdeen to Maysville turned deadly on March 12 when 22-year-old Ryan Mitchell lost control of his vehicle during the pursuit. Mitchell suffered life-threatening injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene by the Mason County Coroner’s Office. Savage is charged with reckless homicide, failure to render aid and leaving the scene of an accident.KSP confirmed Savage was charged because he allegedly did not call for help after the crash or stop to check on Mitchell. Savage allegedly drove back to Ripley, Ohio. "He was still working as an officer for the Village of Ripley up until Friday, because he followed the pursuit stuff and KSP has not told us anything or cooperated with us at all. We have cooperated with them since the very," Bingaman said.According to a release sent out by the Ripley Police Department, "Acting on the advice of his lawyer, former Officer Savage declined to assist with the internal investigation. As a result: the initial investigation showed that he acted within the guidelines of the pursuit policy. As former Officer Savage refused to cooperate with the internal investigation there was no further opportunity to discover further into the details of that late-night/early-morning pursuit."Clemons tells WLWT the department has body-worn cameras, but Savage did not have his on that night. He also says in the initial report, Savage did not see the crash happen. The Ripley Police Department says on Friday, May 26, it requested a full report, from the Kentucky State Police, to add to their investigation of Savage’s actions as it pertains to the department. Savage turned himself into the sheriff's office and bonded out on $10,000 cash.KSP's investigation is still ongoing.
