A 2016 Buick passenger vehicle was reported stolen from the Shell Station in Rising Sun on Tuesday around 3:43 p.m.

A short time later, Aurora Police observed the vehicle traveling eastbound on U.S. 50. Officers attempted to stop the vehicle on Tanners Creek Drive in Lawrenceburg. The vehicle stopped in the parking lot of Little Caesars and the driver fled into the wooded area near the Lawrenceburg Post Office.

After an extensive search of the wooded areas and multiple bodies of water, an Ohio County Sheriff’s deputy observed the male driver in the wooded area near Orscheln Farm and Home.

After a short foot chase, Bradley Rabbitt, 38, of Cincinnati was taken into custody. The passenger in the stolen vehicle, Kelii Studenka, 37, of Cincinnait, was arrested without incident.

Both are facing charges in Ohio and Dearborn counties. Those charges are pending.
