Charges were to be filed in nearby New Boston today against two Dayton policemen in the burglary of the New Boston Eagles' Lodge early Tuesday.
The pair, off-duty, sped away from the scene and were injured when their car crashed into a roadblock in Chillicothe.
Lt. Kenneth Williams, head of the Dayton police personnel investigation unit, said one of the patrolmen, Joseph Arthur Kindy, 38, admitted to the burglary as a "spur of the moment thing."
The other man, Patrolman Henry C. Taulbee, 29, declined to make a statement, Williams said.
Kindy's 1959 convertible, driven by Taulbee, slammed into a tractor-trailer which was being used by Chillicothe police for a roadblock. Taulbee was seriously injured. Both officers were admitted to Chillicothe hospital.
The crash ended a 45-mile chase by highway patrolmen along U.S. 23 fromn north of here. One of the highway patrolmen said the chase at times got up to 120 miles per hour.
Patrolman R. L. Barton of the Portsmouth patrol post said the Dayton officers tossed a metal box from their car at Massieville near the Ross-Pike county line. He said the box, taken from the Eagles' lodge, contained $156.
Roger Henson of Sciotoville discovered the burglary when he entered the lodge about 2 a.m. He said he saw lights and thought the lodge was still open. Henson said one of the men fired two or three shots at him before they fled to the car.
