FELONY PURSUIT
March 28, 2025 – At approximately 5:30 pm, responded to the area of US Route 127 S and Kruckeberg Road in reference to an agency assist with the Darke County Sheriff’s Office.
Prior to my arrival, at approximately 1725 hours, Darke County Dispatch advised their deputies that a blue Ford F-150 was traveling north on US Route 127 from I-70. Dispatch advised that this vehicle was driving approximately 100+ miles per hour in the southbound lane. Dispatch advised that, per multiple complainants, this truck had heavy damage and may have been involved in a crash on I-70. P. O. Wolfe and I heard this radio traffic and began to make our way towards US Route 127. At approximately 1732 hours, dispatch advised that this truck had caused a multiple-vehicle crash at the intersection of US Route 127 and Kruckeberg Road. Approximately 1 minute later, P. O. Wolfe arrived on the scene
of the accident and stated that the driver of the truck was in the ditch and running westbound on foot towards the St. Mary’s Catholic Cemetery. This male would later be identified as Andrew Leininger.
Upon my arrival on Kruckeberg, I drove northbound through the grass, towards the cemetery. While en route, P. O. Wolfe advised that Andrew was now at the cross statue located at the southeast corner of the cemetery. Upon reaching the driveway of the cemetery, I was able to see Andrew standing on the cross statue. Upon exiting my cruiser, I began yelling to Andrew to get off the statue and to show me his hands. I was approximately 250 feet away from Andrew at this time.
Andrew continued to move back and forth on the statue and continued yelling while waving his hands. Andrew appeared to be looking for an exit to the cemetery.
Due to Andrew’s erratic behavior and movements, I drew my firearm and began walking towards Andrew to keep him in my line of sight. I continued yelling commands for Andrew to get off the statue and to lie in the grass. As I approached Andrew, he jumped off the statue and got down on his knees just north of the statue. I continued yelling for Andrew to show me his hands. As Andrew was on his knees, he placed his hands on top of his head and continued to yell, “Shoot me in the head. ” I began asking Andrew if he had any weapons on him, to which he continued to yell, “You’re gonna eat me.”
I then yelled for Andrew to lie down on his stomach and place both of his arms out to his sides. As Andrew lay down, he continued yelling incoherently. As Andrew lay down, I began to position myself behind him. At this time, I could see P. O. Wolfe running towards us on the other side of a wire fence. I continued to yell commands at Andrew and told him not to move. As P. O. Wolfe approached, I saw that he drew his firearm towards Andrew. At this time, I holstered my firearm and approached Andrew, who was lying in the grass on his stomach. As I began attempting to handcuff Andrew, Andrew tensed his body and began telling me not to shoot him. As I grabbed Andrew’s left arm, he began actively resisting. I told Andrew multiple times to put his hands behind his back, which he did not do.
Andrew began pulling his left arm under his body and told me to kill him. I told Andrew that he was under arrest and to stop resisting. Andrew continued actively resisting. P. O. Wolfe then jumped over the wire fence and told Andrew that he was going to be tased.
Andrew then began to comply with our directions and I placed his left wrist into a handcuff. While attempting to handcuff Andrew’s right wrist, he began actively resisting again and P.O. Wolfe deployed his taser at Andrew. Upon Andrew being tased, he became compliant and was fully handcuffed. I then searched Andrew incident to arrest, with nothing but a pocket knife located.

Upon my arrival, I observed a female, later identified as Krystal Royster, in the doorway of the above-listed address. I asked where the male was and who he was. Krystal stated his name was Jeffrey Royster and that he was in the bathroom, unresponsive on the toilet. I asked Krystal if anybody else was in the residence and she advised that there were a few other people all in the kitchen away from the bathroom. I made my way into the bathroom and observed Jeffrey on the toilet, leaning back against the shelf above the toilet. Jeffrey’s head was down, and his eyes were shut.
Upon entering the bathroom, I observed in plain view orange caps on the counter by the sink commonly seen with needles. I also observed what appeared to be a black cloth eyeglasses case next to the orange caps. Krystal advised Jeffrey still had a needle in his hand and that’s when I observed Jeffrey’s left arm dangling between the toilet and bathtub with a needle still in his hand. I cleared some household items out of the bathroom in an attempt to get in the tub so I could secure the needle. I called Jeffrey’s name out several times and tapped him on the shoulder, however, he was not responding. P. O Hall then arrived on the scene and assisted with removing the needle from Jeffrey’s possession. Once the needle was secure, I began giving Jeffrey sternum rubs in an attempt to get him to respond. During this I observed Jeffrey to have a few very shallow breaths. Krystal advised Jeffrey was in the bathroom for half an hour before she was able to witness him slumped over the toilet.
Greenville Township Rescue arrived at the scene and administered Narcan to Jeffrey. While moving Jeffrey from the bathroom to the front room of the house, I observed Jeffrey opening his eyes and I advised the rescue personnel he was awake. While Rescue was speaking with Jeffrey in the front room of the residence, I went back into the bathroom to secure the paraphernalia I had observed. While speaking with Rescue Personnel, Jeffrey denied the use of any drugs and was not able to explain why he was unresponsive. Jeffrey gave officers consent to search him and his belongings. P. O. Hall searched Jeffrey’s coat, which Jeffrey was not wearing at the time, while I searched Jeffrey’s person. I located drug paraphernalia in Jeffrey’s wallet, including a white plastic bag with an unknown green powdery substance and a piece of tin foil with burnt residue on the inside. I also located an unused needle in the eyeglasses case with two straws, both of which had residue on them. Jeffrey was transported to Wayne E. R. by Greenville Rescue.
I arrived at the hospital a short time later with Jeffrey’s belongings. Jeffrey was speaking with hospital staff when I arrived and he was refusing any type of medical care. Jeffrey admitted he did use a substance to take away the pain, but was not purposely trying to overdose or kill himself. Jeffrey later admitted to using heroin in the past and that he used it at the above-listed address prior to the officer’s arrival. Jeffrey stated he uses it three times a week and that it helps with the pain. While speaking with Jeffrey in the E.R., he dozed off multiple times. Jeffrey could not stay awake long enough to answer my questions and the more I would wake him up, the more he stated he did not want to be in the hospital and the more irate he became. I read Jeffrey the Qualified Immunity Form and filled out all of the information for him. I then gave Jeffrey a copy of it and advised I would be in touch with him reference potential immunity or charges being filed against him. Jeffrey was later discharged from Wayne E.R. and was sent on his way.
I returned to the Greenville PD with the drug paraphernalia. I took photos of everything I collected for evidence and placed it all into property. At this time, I have nothing further to report pending Jeffrey seeking professional help in accordance with instructions for Qualified Immunity.

I told Carolyn there were multiple other laundromats in the area and she could go to any of them, but she was not allowed to return to Miss Bubbles.
