39 people arrested, 65 vehicles towed following ‘planned street takeover’ in Cincinnati

CINCINNATI (WKRC) – Police arrested 39 people and towed 65 vehicles early Sunday following what authorities described as a planned street takeover involving disorderly driving.

Cincinnati police said officers first encountered the group near Paddock Road and Interstate 75, where they observed drivers engaging in reckless behavior. One person was arrested during the initial encounter, and officers recovered a firearm, police said.

Authorities said several drivers fled and regrouped near 4343 Kellogg Ave., where officers were deployed after receiving intelligence about the activity.

Police said the group again left the area and later gathered in the Clifton neighborhood, eventually stopping in the parking lot of Woodward High School on Reading Road.
