An Ohio man who allegedly raced into a preschool day care center during a police chase in Warren, Ohio, has a criminal record going back more than a decade, according to FOX 8 in Cleveland.
Police body camera footage allegedly shows Lamar Mitchell, 39, running from police into the preschool and jumping into a playpen where children were playing with toys.
Children can be heard crying on the video as a woman yells “Oh my God!” Officers tell staff to get the children away as they secure Mitchell.

He was also convicted of aggravated arson in 2015 and sentenced to four years in prison after setting his girlfriend’s house on fire when she told police he assaulted her, according to FOX 8.
Last year, Mitchell was involved in a two-hour SWAT standoff, in which he reportedly threatened to kill police. He was wanted on a felony escape charge, eventually surrendered and was sentenced to six months in prison.
