6/1/23 Drone and K9s Too Much for FDL County Chase Suspect
1 June 2023 News
Two Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s K9s and a drone were used to locate an Oshkosh man after he abandoned the vehicle he had used to flee authorities Tuesday night. About 9:45 pm a state trooper located a vehicle on Interstate 41 that had fled the scene of a court order violation in Winnebago County. The trooper tried to stop the vehicle. Ahead, Sheriff’s deputies were putting down spike strips, but the suspect saw the squads, stopped the vehicle and fled on foot. He crossed the interstate and went into a grassy field east of I-41 and south of US Highway 151. Deputies, state troopers, and Fond du Lac Police set up a perimeter. A heat-detecting feature on the drone made it easy to locate the suspect hiding in the field even though it was dark. Between the overhead drone and the K9s the suspect decided to give up which he did peacefully. (Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s photos)
