County Court of Common Pleas Judge Brenda Unruh to four
years in prison for his role in the robbery of a gas station
in Cuyahoga Falls. Harrison pleaded guilty Aug. 18 to
aggravated robbery, a first-degree felony; failure to
comply with the order of a police officer, a fourth-degree
felony; and a firearm specification. On May 20, Harrison
and Ryan
McQuirter
led Akron police on a high-speed chase through business
and residential areas. Cuyahoga Falls police initially
followed the vehicle after the
men committed an armed robbery at the Holland Oil Citgo
station on Portage Trail Extension. Cuyahoga Falls police
notified Akron police after the co-defendants traveled
into Akron. The defendants refused to stop and led police
on a pursuit at speeds up to 50 mph through areas in West
Akron, through at least three stop signs and a red light.
The vehicle pursuit ended after the defendants crashed
into a utility pole in Highland Square. Both defendants
were apprehended after running through nearby yards. Police
observed McQuirter holding an object on his hip, which
turned out to be a semi-automatic
handgun. McQuirter’s pockets were stuffed with money.

27 to aggravated robbery; obstructing official business,
a second-degree misdemeanor; tampering with evidence,
a third-degree felony; carrying a concealed weapon, a
