Hamilton police chief arrests 11-year-old after stolen van crashes into porch
A high-speed police chase of two stolen vehicles in central Hamilton ended Friday with a woman in hospital, the front porch of a home in splinters and an 11-year-old boy in handcuffs — clapped on by Chief Frank Bergen, no less. The chaotic incident began around 1:30 p.m. when Hamilton police received reports of a young kid driving an orange minivan in the area of Sanford Avenue North and Cannon Street East , near a Tim Hortons. Spokesperson Jackie Penman said the licence plate on the van came back as stolen. As officers responded, cruiser-equipped plate readers identified another stolen car, a Mercedes, driving alongside the van. Penman said the vehicles took off at a high-rate of speed when officers began a pursuit, with the van heading west on King Street and the Mercedes south on Wentworth Street. Kyle Warren points to where a stolen van smashed into a porch Friday — just missing him and two others sitting outside. A female pedestrian was struck by one of them at Main and Wentworth streets , according to Penman. She remains in hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Penman said the Mercedes was later found abandoned in the east end. Police are actively looking for suspects. The orange van, meanwhile, continued to flee down King before it veered left onto Tisdale Street South, near the No Frills parking lot, and crashed into a front porch head-on. Kyle Warren wasn't given much warning. He was sitting on a lawn chair at his doorstep — his dad and a family friend just next to him — when he heard tires squealing from a distance. 'Then all of a sudden, this van,' Warren said, pointing to the mangled Dodge Caravan, 'was doing 120 (km/h) around the corner, smoked a curb and smashed into the porch.' 'If it wasn't for his dad grabbing me and taking me out of the way, I thought I was dead,' added Tina Andross, who was standing near Warren and his father on Tisdale Street South, next to the affected home. Kyle Warren speaks to media outside his home on Tisdale Street South, with a stolen van which crashed into a porch Friday, missing him and two others sitting outside, behind him. No one was injured in the collision besides the 11-year-old driver, who was arrested within minutes of the pursuit beginning. He was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Penman said. Besides the impact of the crash, Warren said he was shocked by who arrested the driver responsible: the service's most senior member. It's not uncommon for Chief Bergen to make an appearance at the scene of serious incidents. On Friday, he was the first one there. 'The police chief came out of his (cruiser) and he was the one who put the kid in handcuffs,' Warren said. 'He came to speak with us after to make sure we were OK.' Penman said Bergen was out on patrol when the call came in. 'The chief is regularly out patrolling the city to make sure the city is safe,' she said. A stretch of Wentworth and Tisdale, between Main and King, was expected to be closed to traffic into Friday night. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request.

Arkport man charged with arson for allegedly setting house on fire after domestic incident
An Arkport man was charged with arson for allegedly setting a house on fire after a domestic dispute in Dansville. New York State Police said Hornell-based troopers responded to 9050 county Route 46 in the Town of Dansville at around 11 p.m. on July 21 after a neighbor reported loud yelling and requested a welfare check. Upon arrival, troopers found heavy smoke and an active fire within the residence. State police personnel entered the structure to ensure no one was inside and then exited due to the extent of the fire and smoke. According to state police, 21-year-old Jayden I. Cain was located in a nearby shed on the property. Police said Cain admitted to intentionally starting the fire with gasoline. Cain was taken into custody without incident and the scene was turned over to Steuben County fire investigators. No injuries were reported. The home was unoccupied at the time of the fire and the residence has been deemed a total loss. State police said the incident followed a domestic dispute earlier in the evening, where Cain forcibly took and damaged the victim's phone.

Chicago man charged after crash into Indiana highway wall
A Chicago man was charged Tuesday with drunkenly crashing into a highway wall, records allege. Kyle N. Davis, 32, is charged with causing serious bodily injury when operating a vehicle while intoxicated and two misdemeanors. He is in custody, held on a $2,000 cash bond. Indiana State Police responded at 12:22 a.m. July 21 to the .02-mile marker on I-80 west in Hammond, just inside the state line. Davis initially told police he swerved to avoid someone in front of him and hit the wall. Then, as cops went to get the woman's ID, he changed his story, saying they had been at the casino for hours and he lost control of his white Chevrolet Equinox. 'You can test me right now, I ain't even drunk,' he said. He told police he had a busted lip and an injured leg. His female passenger was taken to the hospital with a cut lip, head pain and 'memory issues.' An affidavit shows Davis had a no contact order that barred him from seeing the woman. He told police he thought it just prevented them from fighting.
