An Ohio man runs across the interstate and tries to steal a car off a tow truck 

52-year-old Carlos D. Sept was eventually put behind bars after causing chaos on I-65. It started when police officers responded to a wreck near mile-marker 206. 

A 2008 Toyota Camry slid off the road and needed to be pulled out. During the crash investigation Trooper Carlson found that the driver was lying about his identity. 

The man was really Carlos D. Sept, who was wanted on probation violation through Ohio due to past violent crimes. 

While trying to detain Sept, he violently broke free and ran across all the lanes of the interstate during inclement winter weather. He escaped in a field after almost causing multiple wrecks.

Carlson flipped around to the northbound slide and was getting his K9 partner, Cooper, ready to take action. Then Sept played Frogger again and hopped back across the interstate. 

Sept tried to get his Toyota Camry off the back of the tow truck. The tow truck driver, for some reason, fled on foot.

He has been charged with:

  • Level 6 felony – Possession of a controlled substance
  • Level 6 felony – Intimidation 
  • Class A Misdemeanor – False identity statement 
  • Class A Misdemeanor – Resisting law enforcement
