Brief pursuit in Fond du Lac County brings charges for Menasha man

A momentary lapse of good judgement led a Menasha man to be arrested overnight Sunday, December 21, 2025, after trying to elude a Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Deputy.

Just after 9:30 Sunday night, the deputy attempted to pull the driver over for a speed violation southbound on Highway 26, near County Highway T.

After the deputy activated their emergency lights and siren, the driver accelerated and failed to yield, resulting in a pursuit.

The driver continued southbound on Highway 26, passing other vehicles in a marked no-passing zone.

After about three miles, the driver pulled over on their own near Highway TC, and the driver was taken into custody without incident.

The 26-year-old man is now facing charges of Fleeing and Eluding and Reckless Endangering Safety.
