COSHOCTON - A Coshocton man authorities termed a dangerous felon was apprehended following a high speed chase on Thursday. 

Daniel A. Wise, 35, was arrested on outstanding warrants for failure to appear in Coshocton County Common Pleas Court relating to multiple drug trafficking charges. Further charges from Thursday's incident are pending with the Coshocton County Prosecutor's Office. 

The Coshocton County Sheriff's Office stated it received a tip on Wise's whereabouts. Deputies observed Wise entering a vehicle at approximately 4:55 p.m. Thursday and attempted to initiate a traffic stop at the intersection of East Main and North 15th streets. Wise fled in the vehicle through the city, making numerous traffic violations in residential neighborhoods and school zones, including passing a school bus. 

The pursuit lasted about 15 minutes and covered 10 miles with speeds exceeding 90 mile per hour at points. Deputies were able to deploy spike strips to stop the vehicle on Township Road 137. Wise was taken into custody without further incident once he was stopped. Prince's Wrecker service assisted on the scene. There were no injuries.

Wise and Brandi L. Wright, 34, of West Lafayette, were arrested and charged in October with one count each of trafficking in cocaine, a first-degree felony, trafficking in heroin, a second-degree felony, and trafficking and distribution of marijuana, a fourth-degree felony.

Wise was also charged with aggravated trafficking in drugs, a second-degree felony, relating to methamphetamine. His charges contain a specification to forfeit $728 believed to be derived directly or indirectly from the sale of drugs, a 2001 Buick Regal and a 1992 GMC TopKick.

Wise failed to appear for a pretrial hearing on the charges on March 12 in common pleas court. He was also convicted in common pleas court of harassment with a bodily substance and assault of a police officer in 2010 and possession of cocaine, possession of a controlled substance and conveyance of prohibited items in 2014.

Wright failed to appear for a pretrial on April 10 and a bench warrant has been issued for her arrest.
