A 25-year-old Butler man will spend several years under county supervision after pleading guilty to driving high on cocaine and leading state police on a chase last summer that reached speeds in excess of 100 mph.

Cody J. Rose pleaded guilty Jan. 15 to driving under the influence of a controlled substance, his second such offense, as well as possessing drug paraphernalia and fleeing officers.

On Thursday, Butler County Common Pleas Judge William Shaffer sentenced Rose to 90 to 180 days in jail followed by a total of four-and-a-half years on probation. Rose received credit for time served, allowing him to be immediately paroled. He must also serve 100 hours of community service.

On Aug. 22, troopers said a Honda CRV with a faulty headlight passed them on Route 356 near Burtner Road in Summit Township. When the troopers tried to make a traffic stop, according to charging documents, Rose sped away, traveling north on Route 356 and subsequently passing another vehicle on a turn.

Police said the driver ran a stop sign, turned onto Center Avenue around 12:20 a.m. and eventually traveled back onto Route 356.

“While traveling on (Route 356),” according to Trooper Francis Walters' affidavit, “the SUV traveled at speeds in excess of 100 mph.”

The driver, later identified as Rose, made two more dangerous passes, police said, and at some point turned onto Sarver Road, and then onto Lardintown Road in Clinton Township, where he apparently lost control of the vehicle.

After hitting a parked truck and a bird feeder, Rose got out of the vehicle and ran behind a shed, where troopers briefly struggled with Rose as they tried to arrest him.

“Rose informed me that he had cocaine in his pocket, which was why he 'freaked out and ran,' ” the affidavit said. “Rose also admitted to using cocaine.”
