An 18-year-old Dayton resident is facing several felony charges after authorities say he shot at a detective while riding in a stolen vehicle, triggering a police chase and standoff that brought in SWAT and hostage negotiators. Court records show Javien Robinson has been indicted on counts including having weapons under disability and possessing criminal tools.
The events began on Dec. 4 when Dayton officers responded to a complaint involving a firearm in the 2700 block of West Third Street. At roughly 2:20 p.m., a detective spotted an unmarked law enforcement vehicle near Guthrie and River roads that had been reported stolen. As the detective trailed the vehicle, the person inside — later identified as Robinson — allegedly fired at him. No injuries were reported from the gunfire.
Police pursued the stolen vehicle until it was found outside a home in the 1700 block of South Gettysburg Avenue. A juvenile was taken into custody at that point, prompting concerns that additional individuals might be inside the residence. The situation escalated as SWAT officers and the Hostage Negotiation Team were requested to secure the area and manage the standoff.
Robinson was the second person arrested that evening. According to an affidavit, officers located him inside the home and detained him while investigators worked to determine his role in the earlier shooting and vehicle theft. A search warrant executed at the residence uncovered seven firearms along with two devices used to generate vehicle keys, items that investigators linked to stolen vehicles.
Court documents state Robinson was prohibited from possessing or being around firearms due to a prior failure-to-comply case out of Warren County. During an interview at the Dayton safety building, he acknowledged knowing about the firearms found in the house as well as the key-generation devices and their purpose.
Investigators say the details supporting the search warrant were built from police reports and interviews conducted throughout the day. The case remains under review as prosecutors determine whether additional charges will be added.
All parties are innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
