Fond Du Lac Authorities Searching For High-Speed Chase Suspect

(Brownsville) Authorities in Fond du Lac County are looking for the suspect in a high-speed chase. A deputy attempted to stop the vehicle at 11:21pm Tuesday night for a speeding violation on Interstate 41 in the Town of Byron. The vehicle failed to yield and continued to travel at speeds above the posted limits.  The pursuit continued on Interstate 41 before exiting on Highway 49 in Dodge County and continuing westbound through the Village of Brownsville.  The deputy was able to obtain vehicle information which he determined could lead to an arrest at a later time.  Because of that, and other environmental factors, the deputy terminated the pursuit near Centerline Road in Dodge County.  The Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office continues to actively investigate the offense and the driver is facing a criminal charge of Knowingly Fleeing an Officer along with numerous traffic forfeitures.
