Two I-41 Police Chases in Fond du Lac Area End in Arrests, Rollover and Fire

Overview

• Deputies say a stolen Illinois car fled a high‑risk stop on I‑41, crossed into Winnebago County, rolled after a squad intervention, and caught fire before two occupants were arrested.
• Investigators report the car had been in two Illinois pursuits earlier in the week, and the 23‑year‑old Des Plaines driver was flagged as armed and dangerous with prior weapons and drug offenses.
• The driver was booked on fleeing, first‑degree reckless endangering safety, resisting, and delivering illegal articles by an inmate after ecstasy pills were found in custody, while a 23‑year‑old Franklin Park passenger faces party‑to‑a‑crime and drug counts.
• In a separate case, a Wisconsin State Patrol stop on I‑41 for a Kenosha County felony warrant turned into a chase that ended when the car went airborne over Winnebago Street, after which an electronic control device, a police stun gun, was used to arrest the Milwaukee driver.
• Officials say the Milwaukee driver faces fleeing, reckless endangerment, felony bail jumping, resisting, felon‑in‑possession, and marijuana charges, with no other injuries or property damage reported over the roughly 4.5‑mile pursuit assisted by local police and fire.
