(EDON) - The Williams County Sheriff's Office is searching for a man who led deputies on a dangerous chase Saturday night and rammed multiple law enforcement vehicles before escaping on foot. It began when deputies responded to a domestic dispute in Edon. Before they arrived, Zachary McCague left the scene in a black Dodge Journey. A deputy soon spotted the SUV and attempted a traffic stop -- but McCague refused to pull over, kicking off a pursuit.

During the chase, investigators say McCague hit a marked sheriff's cruiser, and when deputies boxed him in, he used the vehicle to strike a deputy and took off again. The SUV was later found abandoned behind the Marathon station in Edon, but McCague was gone.

Multiple agencies searched the area, but he was not located. A warrant is now issued for McCague's arrest.

Anyone with information is urged to call the Williams County Sheriff's Office at 419-636-3151.

Officers from Edon, Montpelier, Auburn, and the Ohio State Highway Patrol are assisting the Williams County Sheriff's Department in the search.
