WALTON, Ky. — A Boone County sheriff's deputy was injured in a crash involving an alleged abduction suspect in Walton Tuesday, according to Boone County Dispatch.
Dispatch said the crash happened just before 7:45 p.m. Tuesday on South Main Street and involved an alleged abduction case out of Greene County, Ohio. The Greene County Sheriff's Office identified the suspect in the case as Brenton Howland.
The Greene County Sheriff's Office said deputies were dispatched to a report of a domestic violence incident just after 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in New Jasper Township, Ohio.
A woman reported that she was traveling with her 2-month-old child when Howland, the child's father, stopped the vehicle they were in and "forcibly removed" her from the vehicle.
She said Howland then fled in the vehicle with their child.
WATCH: What we know about the crash
The Boone County Sheriff's Office said shortly after 7 p.m., Boone County learned Howland was in the area.
Deputies later located Howland on Mt. Zion Road and tried to stop the vehicle. Howland then fled toward Kenton County, leading to a chase with a Boone County sergeant and a Kenton County officer, according to the sheriff's office.
The sergeant and officer lost sight of Howland and multiple units, including Boone County, Kenton County, the Independence Police Department and Kentucky State Police, all began searching.
While searching, an Independence police officer and a Kenton County officer located Howland. The sheriff's office said this led to a "high-speed chase."
A Boone County deputy joined the pursuit, according to the sheriff's office, and attempted to pass another vehicle, leading to a crash between their cruiser, Howland's vehicle and another vehicle.
Howland then crashed into a church, the sheriff's office said. He was taken into custody and transported to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.
As a precaution, the sheriff's office said the 2-month-old child was taken to Cincinnati Children's Hospital but had no injuries. The child is now back with their mother.
The Boone County deputy was also taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
According to the sheriff's office, Howland will receive charges from Boone County and Kenton County for the pursuit, as well as charges from Greene County regarding the abduction.
In a release Tuesday night, the Independence Police Department said it will be filing charges for fleeing and wanton endangerment.
