Dade Caught After High-Speed Chase and Robbery
18 Aug
Summary
- Suspect Saif Dade faces multiple felony charges after a robbery.
- A high-speed chase ended with the suspect's apprehension on foot.
- Evidence suppression hearing occurred on Monday, Aug 24.
Saif Dade, 28, a Columbus man, is facing serious felony charges including aggravated robbery, robbery, grand theft of a motor vehicle, and failure to comply with an officer.
The charges originate from an April 19 incident where deputies responded to a robbery at Ollie's Bargain Outlet. A suspect stole an older woman's purse and fled in her Honda Odyssey, colliding with two vehicles before escaping.
Authorities tracked the stolen van using camera systems and initiated a traffic stop. The suspect, later identified as Dade, sped away at speeds up to 100 mph before abandoning the van and fleeing on foot. He was eventually caught and arrested.
On Monday, August 24, a hearing was held regarding a motion to suppress evidence. A key piece of evidence under review is a 45-minute interview video between Dade and a detective. The judge is expected to rule on this matter before Tuesday, August 25.
