A 38-year-old Akron man is facing nearly a half-dozen criminal charges for allegedly stealing a pickle delivery van and trying to flee from police during a high-speed pursuit.
A delivery driver for the Akron Pickle company told Akron police his van was stolen on Tuesday before 1:30 p.m. while he unloaded items.
The delivery driver and a passerby were able to follow Word while they called police. The two said Word then drove the van to the Village Thrift Store on East Waterloo Road and stole more property from inside the business, according to investigators. Word refused to stop and he ran several red lights during a short pursuit. He eventually crashed into the rear of a building on East South Street.
