PHOTOS: Christmas morning criminal take down involves car and foot chase and crash in Fond du Lac

Law enforcement weren’t taking Christmas off Wednesday, December 25, 2024 when they were staking out a northside neighborhood for a known wanted suspect.

At 11:30 AM, the suspect’s vehicle was seen leaving the area of Washington Street and Scott Street. An officer followed the suspect until more officers were in the area. When the officer attempted to stop the vehicle on Arndt Street near Doty Street, the suspect accelerated in an attempt to get away.

The suspect ran the stop sign at Main Street and then again at Park Avenue where he crashed into two other vehicles, injuring two people.

After the crash, the suspect took off running southeast and was captured a short time later in the 200 block of east Follet Street.

After the suspect was taken into custody, a police K9 was being used to track the suspects route to see if he had thrown anything.

No other details are known until police issue a press release.
