Monroe County Sheriff’s Deputies were called to the beach at about 7:20 p.m. on reports that a 21-year-old man from Ohio had been shot multiple times during an argument. The victim is in critical condition.

Deputies said the SUV was spotted heading south on US-23. They initiated a traffic stop but the driver fled, leading deputies on a chase that eventually ended on Sylvania Petersburg Road near Sterns Road in Whiteford Township.

The driver, Prato, and a passenger, a 22-year-old Taylor man, were arrested. The passenger was released after being questioned by detectives, authorities said.

Prato was issued a $500,000 cash or surety bond.
