On Saturday, November 18, 2023 at 4:02am, Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office deputies were requested to assist the Wisconsin State Patrol who were actively pursuing a vehicle northbound on Interstate 41 near Highway 67 located in Dodge County. The suspect vehicle exited onto Hwy 67 and traveled east into Fond du Lac County.

Officers deployed a taser which struck the man and he was taken into custody.
He has been charged with two counts of felony eluding, possession with intent to deliver THC, possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, and resisting arrest.
