Two Toledo men who led police on a chase around the city after a south-end shooting were found guilty on multiple charges Monday.

Chase Schumacher, 18, of 3817 Waldorf Dr. pleaded guilty before Lucas County Common Pleas Judge Ruth Ann Franks to felonious assault with a firearm specification, carrying a concealed weapon, and tampering with evidence. Timothy Antoine, 18, of 913 Prouty Ave. entered an Alford plea to felonious assault and failure to comply with the order or signal of a police officer.

Schumacher fired several shots at Terry Floyd, Jr., 21, in the parking lot of the Major Kleen Laundry, 4044 Airport Hwy., June 4. The pair then fled from police in a chase that went into Ottawa Hills where Schumacher was taken into custody. Antoine drove on to Sylvania Township and was later arrested at Laskey and Secor roads.

Judge Franks set a Sept. 4 sentencing date for both men, who are being held in the Lucas County jail.
