Bodycam shows man attack Ohio state trooper before he stole a patrol car and was shot dead
Bodycam footage from the Ohio State Patrol shows a suspect attacking a trooper before stealing his patrol car and being shot dead by the Pennsylvania State Police minutes later.
On April 4, DeShawn Leeth, 30, was involved in a single-car rollover crash eastbound on the Ohio Turnpike in Springfield Township near the Pennsylvania state line, according to the Ohio State Patrol.
After the crash, an officer arrived and spotted Leeth on the shoulder of the highway. He made contact with Leeth and was attacked.

Leeth was repeatedly yelling “in the name of Jesus” while he pushed the officer.
“You’re gonna get hurt,” he told the officer as a scuffle ensued. “Next time you touch me, you gonna die.”
Leeth briefly ran down the shoulder of the highway before turning around and jogging back toward the officer. That’s when the officer pulled his Taser and used it on Leeth.
Unaffected, Leeth began throwing punches at the officer.
“I’m stronger than you,” he yelled.
After a brief fistfight, the officer was knocked to the ground, and his bodycam was obscured. The trooper had minor injuries and was treated at a hospital, the Ohio State Patrol said.

That’s when police say Leeth took off in the officer’s patrol vehicle and drove into Pennsylvania.
The Pennsylvania State Police resumed the chase for Leeth, and when he crashed the Ohio cruiser, he again attacked officers, according to mlive.com.
He was reportedly shot dead at the crash site.
Leeth was described as a community leader and the executive director of Under-Dawg-Nation, a nonprofit focused on children harmed by violence.
“Under-Dawg-Nation’s Mission is to help At-Risk Kids who lack resources and help prevent Teen Violence and disengagement from school,” according to the organization’s website.
However, court records show Leeth spent seven years in jail in Michigan after pleading guilty to eight home invasion charges from separate incidents in 2012 and 2016. He was released in 2023.

The Paramore frontwoman appears to be mapping out tour dates behind her 2025 solo album, ‘Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party.’
Hayley Williams will soon have a date with Detroit.
The Paramore frontwoman’s website was updated Saturday with a list of cities underneath the header, “cu_soon.jpg.”
Detroit was one of 28 cities listed on the itinerary, along with Atlanta, Boston, Cincinnati, Raleigh and Los Angeles, and a handful of South American cities.
Over the course of the last week, Williams, 37, has been slowly rolling out dates on her latest solo tour, which comes on the heels of her 2025 solo album “Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party.” An earlier round of touring behind the project did not include a Detroit date.
The singer’s last local visit came when Paramore played Little Caesars Arena in June 2023.

Sheriff: Driver of stolen vehicle flees traffic stop in St. Paul, hits State Patrol car in Minneapolis
The driver of a stolen car fled a traffic stop Friday night in St. Paul before crashing into a Minnesota State Patrol car in Minneapolis, according to the Ramsey County sheriff’s office.
A Ramsey County sheriff’s deputy attempted to stop the stolen Hyundai sedan at about 10:30 p.m. in the Highland Park neighborhood of St. Paul. The driver fled and crossed the Ford Parkway Bridge into Minneapolis before the deputy lost sight of the vehicle and ended the pursuit, according to the sheriff’s office.
The suspect was then observed driving recklessly and ran a stop sign at West 46th Street and Aldrich Avenue South at 80 mph. The vehicle collided with a State Patrol squad car, causing significant injuries to the trooper and passengers in the stolen vehicle, the sheriff’s office said.
The 19-year-old suspect was quickly arrested after attempting to flee on foot. The driver has two prior arrests for fleeing police and is being held at the Ramsey County jail, according to the sheriff’s office.
Police say the same vehicle was involved in a pursuit Thursday night in the west metro, during which it reportedly swerved at emergency vehicles but did not hit them.
