Painesville Police rescue driver and passenger from pond drowning

PAINESVILLE - On July 23 at approximately 2:45 a.m., Painesville Police began pursuing a 2010 Toyota Corolla for running a red light at the intersection of Richmond and Chester Streets.
The vehicle fled southbound toward Newell Street, running multiple stop signs. The three-minute chase continued onto Renaissance Parkway where the vehicle, at a high rate of speed, lost control on a grassy area and jumped the pond at 787 Renaissance Parkway. During the transition from land to water, the vehicle flipped forward and landed upside down in the water.
Officers Ryan Cueni, Kevin Love and Cory Whitt immediately rushed the sinking vehicle and attempted to rescue the occupants. Officer Cueni attempted the passenger door, which was locked, but eventually was able to open the door and grab the 33-year-old female passenger and move her toward the other officers, who pulled her to safety.
The female indicated there was also a male driver remaining in the vehicle and officers were quickly able to pull him from the vehicle only seconds before it fully submerged.
The 32-year-old male driver has been identified as Michael Clemens of Hamden, Ohio, who has an active warrant.
The Painesville City Fire Department assessed both driver and passenger and transported Clemens to TriPoint Medical Center for minor injuries.
Clemens was charged with failure to comply, red light violation, driving under FRA suspension and no operator’s license.
Clemens’ arraignment was held at 1:15 p.m. on July 23 at Painesville Municipal Court, where he pled not guilty and bond was set at $7,500.
The Lake County Dive Team was able to assist Bob's Garage & Towing in removing the vehicle from the pond.
The incident remains an active investigation.
