BARNESVILLE — Two men are facing felony charges after a high-speed chase ended in a fiery head-on collision with a Barnesville Police Department K-9 unit.

Among the charges against one of the men are assault and kidnapping.

According to a Barnesville Police Department Facebook post report, officers observed a vehicle driving recklessly and traveling at a high speed on Bond Avenue/Ohio 800, which prompted them to initiate a traffic stop on the vehicle on Ohio 800 north of Barnesville.

The vehicle reportedly failed to stop and a pursuit began, traveling north on Ohio 800 through Hendrysburg and onto North Road. It continued on North Road and onto Ohio 800, U.S. 22, across the Piedmont Lake Dam and onto Belmont Ridge in Harrison County. While on Belmont Ridge, the suspect turned the vehicle to drive toward the patrol vehicle, which resulted in a head-on collision.

The police department added that two occupants of the suspect vehicle exited and began to flee the scene, but Sgt. Edward Kubat deployed K-9 Croc and apprehended one suspect while the other, believed to be the driver, fled into a wooded area. The patrol vehicle was completely destroyed after it caught fire following the crash.

The Belmont County Sheriff’s Office, Harrison County Sheriff’s Office, Ohio State Highway Patrol and St. Clairsville Police Department assisted in the pursuit and search for the other suspect, the report states.

Fire departments from Moorefield Township, Holloway, Freeport and Washington assisted at the scene.

The Barnesville Police Department said St. Clairsville Police Department deployed a drone but was unable to locate the second suspect. The Ohio State Highway Patrol provided aerial assistance and located the suspect in the nearby wooded area.

“Members from the involved agencies made contact with the suspect and he was taken into custody without incident,” the report said.

The report added the suspects were identified as Patrick Mazik, 37, of Belmont and Corey Hackathorn, 40, of Martins Ferry, who were both treated at Harrison Community Hospital and transported to Belmont County Jail charged with multiple felony offenses.

Mazik was listed Wednesday on the Belmont County Jail inmate roster. He was being held on $1,000 bond on a charge of driving under the influence, $5,000 bond on a charge of failure to comply with a police officer, $2,500 on an obstructing official business charge, $10,000 on an assault charge, $20,000 on a kidnapping charge, and $500 for a charge of unlawful restraint.

Hackathorn also was listed on the roster. His charges and bond amounts include: failure to appear/theft. $1,000; failure to appear/trespassing, $290; failure to comply with order of a police officer, $1,000; obstructing official business, $750; and complicity, $10,000.

The Belmont County Prosecutor’s Office will determine the official charges.

No officers were injured during the incident, including K-9 Croc.

Chief Rocky Sirianni and the Barnesville Police Department are grateful for the assistance of all involved law enforcement agencies and emergency personnel, the post states.
