Man jumps from moving SUV on I-75

Around 3:20 Saturday morning, May 1, Dayton police were dispatched on a report of a person laying in the middle lane of northbound I-75 near the Main Street exit.

Once on the scene, they discovered a man on the southbound exit ramp behind an orange barrel. When approached the man was irate and combative. Witnesses said it appeared the man jumped out of a moving SUV.

He told officers they “would have to kill” him and if they did, he would be the last one to leave. Witnesses said the 27-year-old man had been with them at the Gentleman’s Club on North Dixie, gotten drunk and into a fight at the strip club. One witness said she was driving behind the SUV when she saw the man open the door and jump out. She understood that the man had been in a fight with the other occupants of the SUV, but left the moving vehicle on his own accord.

When medics showed up, the man refused to go to the hospital, though he had an obvious knot on his head. Police had to cuff the man and lift him onto the gurney. When he reached the hospital, he grappled with the medical staff before he was sedated and treated.

Police were called back to the hospital after doctors discovered a gunshot wound in the man’s back. Doctors told police the wound appeared several days old. Police called in Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputies to see if the wound could be connected to any shootings in the area around the Harrison Twp. strip club.

The investigation is continuing.
