7/14/23 Two Arrested Following Multi County Chase
14 July 2023 News
Two men were arrested during a high speed chase in Fond du Lac County Thursday night and two loaded handguns were recovered during that pursuit. Sheriff Ryan Waldschmidt says they had a major drug interdiction effort going on in the county at the time. A deputy pulled over a vehicle on Interstate 41 southbound near County Highway B, but the vehicle took off shortly after the deputy made contact with the vehicle. Sheriff Waldschmidt says the suspects ditched the handguns along the way because they were felons. The guns were recovered off the side of the interstate. Washington County Sheriff’s deputies deployed stop sticks and the vehicle eventually came to a stop in the southern part of that county after one or more tires deflated. The two were arrested and taken to the Fond du Lac County Jail. The pursuit covered 37 miles and speeds were in excess of 115 miles per hour. Methamphetamine and marijuana were also recovered during the arrest.
