The deputy tried to initiate a traffic stop; however, the vehicle failed to yield and continued southbound on CTH Y.

Deputies deployed tire deflation devices on CTH V and later on Highway 49, successfully deflating the suspect’s tires. The vehicle continued westbound on Highway 49 at reduced speeds due to the deflated tires.
At that point, a Fond du Lac County deputy executed a PIT maneuver, successfully bringing the vehicle to a stop.
A Taser was then used on the suspect after he allegedly failed to comply with deputies’ orders.
The suspect, a 35-year-old man from Green Bay, was taken to the Fond du Lac County Jail on the following charges:
- Felony fleeing/eluding
- Misdemeanor bail jumping
- Various traffic violations
The total distance of the pursuit was roughly 14 miles.
