Police bodycam captures a high-speed police chase in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, after a traffic stop turns into a pursuit reaching approximately 105 MPH. The driver later tells officers he had been using crack cocaine and cocaine throughout the day.
Pleasant Prairie Police attempted to stop the black sedan after an officer observed the driver run a stop sign and make a turn without signaling. Instead of stopping, the driver fled, beginning a high-speed pursuit through Wisconsin.
During the police chase, speeds reached approximately 105 MPH before officers deployed tire deflation devices. Even with both right tires damaged, the driver continued fleeing and collided with multiple police vehicles before officers took him into custody.
After the pursuit, the driver told police he had been using crack cocaine and cocaine throughout the day. According to police and court records, officers searching the vehicle recovered suspected cocaine, drug paraphernalia, and a Glock 19 with an extended magazine.
The driver was charged with fleeing and eluding, five counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety, possession of cocaine, possession of drug paraphernalia, hit and run, and other misdemeanor charges.
He pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
