A man was taken into custody after driving a scooter on the interstate Friday morning.

Police tell Local 12 News the incident started as a domestic dispute in Southgate. Investigators said the man then took off on the scooter when police arrived.

Police tried to pull over the man as he drove through Campbell County, then into Cincinnati.  Kenton County officers finally were able to get the man to stop on I-75 southbound at the top of the cut in the hill near the Kyles Lane exit.

One officer said the chase reached 60 miles an hour at some points.

My guess is that this incident couldn't exactly be classified as a "high speed pursuit"!!!

Just reading the headlines, I was imagining police chasing a senior citizen around the retirement center on one of them 4 wheel scoters for the handicapped at about 2 MPH. Hoveround vrs Police car. The real story isn’t as funny as my imagination.

I think that is about the top speed of some of them. They may even go a little higher. My neighbor has one that probably goes about 60.

In my younger days I used to get away from the cops dozens of times on a motorcycle. I considered it a sport. Of course that's with a bike that could do 0-60 in under 3 seconds. I've long since retired from that sort of thing so if you are a cop, please don't bother tracking me down to catch whoever is doing stuff like that nowadays.
