Raid goes from a bust to a bang

DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) - An FBI raid ended with one of the suspects crashing into another car while trying to escape.

"I figured here it goes again," says George Hamilton, who lives in the Cornell Heights neighborhood.

Hamilton was just one of the many in the neighborhood who came outside to find the FBI at an Oxford Avenue home.

"I was upstairs watching one of my court TV shows," Hamilton says.

Instead he ended up witnessing a real-life court case as the FBI tried to search a house.

Officials say one of the two suspects jumped into a black Impala and made a break for it, cutting through the grass and smashing through some stones before hitting the front end of another car, leaving one person with minor injuries.

"I heard flash bang shots going into a house and then I heard the crash," Hamilton says.

2 NEWS was there as one of the suspects was taken into custody. The other was already in a cruiser.

FBI officials say they found drugs, money and guns in the home.

Neighbors tell us drug sales have been a major problem for them.

"They come through openly in the daytime passing drugs in front of your house," says Earlene Pierce, who lives in the neighborhood.

Neighbors hope this will put a stop to those sales, so they can get back to watching their court cases on TV and not in real life.

"I'm glad they took care of what they need to take care of," Hamilton says.
