The Dayton police chief has revealed the name of the suspect in a Monday chase that ended with a pickup truck crushing a police cruiser.

During a Wednesday news conference, Chief Kamran Afzal identified 54-year-old James Skirvin as the suspect in the chase. He was listed in stable condition at an area hospital and being treated for gunshot wounds and crash injuries.

Police said Skirvin had a residency in Florida and that the white pickup truck he drove had Florida license plates. Skirvin had no criminal record to date, but could face multiple felony charges as a result of the chase. The chief noted the suspect had both a rifle and a shotgun in his possession.

Police shared audio and dashcam footage during the conference, with officers stating that 911 callers specified Skirvin was suicidal.
