Back-to-Back I-41 Pursuits in Fond du Lac Area End in Three Arrests

Overview

• A Wisconsin State Patrol stop escalated into a 4.5‑mile pursuit after 9 a.m. Saturday when a 44-year-old Milwaukee driver fled on I‑41, went airborne over Winnebago Street, and was taken into custody after a brief foot chase and a taser deployment.
• Deputies say the Milwaukee man had a Kenosha County felony warrant for failing to appear in a stolen‑vehicle case and was out on a $5,000 signature bond at the time of the stop.
• The sheriff’s office and State Patrol report he faces multiple counts that include fleeing and eluding, first‑degree recklessly endangering safety, felony bail jumping, resisting or obstructing, felon in possession of a firearm, and possession of marijuana.
• In a separate case, deputies arrested a 23-year-old man from Des Plaines, Illinois, and a 23-year-old woman from Franklin Park after a multi‑county chase of a stolen car ended in a Winnebago County field with a rollover and vehicle fire following deliberate squad contact.
• Officials report no other injuries or property damage in either incident as multiple agencies coordinated to end the pursuits, and both cases remain under review for formal charging.
