28-year-old Green Bay woman in custody after 130-mph chase in Fond du Lac County

A 28-year-old Green Bay woman was taken into custody overnight after a wild police chase in Fond du Lac County.

At about 2:20 a.m., the Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office was notified of a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed south on Highway 26 in Winnebago County.

A Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office deputy observed the vehicle southbound on 26 near Fremont Road going around 130 mph. The deputy activated emergency lights and siren however, the vehicle failed to yield and maintained a high rate of speed, resulting in a pursuit.

The vehicle continued southbound on 26, entering the Village of Rosendale at speeds exceeding 100 mph and passing vehicles on the left. The driver continued traveling at speeds in excess of 130 mph. Another deputy deployed tire deflation devices on 26 near County Highway TC, which were successfully deployed as the suspect vehicle passed.

The driver continued southbound on 26 and briefly came to a stop near Highway 151. Deputies issued commands to the driver, but the vehicle fled again, turning eastbound onto Frontage Road at the end of Highway 26. Due to the tire deflation device, the vehicle lost a tire, significantly reducing its speed.

Deputies continued the pursuit to the dead end of Frontage Road, where the driver entered a farm access road and began driving through a farm field. As the vehicle approached a residential neighborhood, a deputy successfully caused the vehicle to lose traction and spin, redirecting it away from a residence.

The driver continued to flee within the field until additional deputies arrived and successfully boxed in the vehicle. Once stopped, the driver was non-compliant and refused to exit the vehicle. Deputies broke the driver-side window to extract her. A Taser was deployed as she continued to resist arrest, after which she was taken into custody.

She was booked into the Fond du Lac County Jail on charges of Felony Flee/Elude, Second-Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety, and Resisting/Obstructing an Officer. The driver was also issued a citation for speeding, traveling approximately 130 mph in a 55-mph zone.
