A Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s deputy pulled over a vehicle overnight for travelling over 100 mph on Highway 23 east of the City of Fond du Lac.

At about 1:47 AM Friday, June 21, 2024, the officer started chasing the vehicle westbound on 23 after seeing the vehicle speeding in excess of 100 mph near Tower Road. As the vehicle approached County Highway K, a City of Fond du Lac officer got behind the vehicle and the driver finally pulled over.

Highway 23 was blocked while officers conducted a high risk stop on the driver and a passenger that was in the vehicle.

The driver, an 18-year-old Fond du Lac man, was taken into custody on charges of Knowingly Flee/Elude Officer. The 18-year-old passenger was cited for underage drinking 3rd offense, and minor transporting intoxicants in vehicle.
