On August 17, 2025. Deputies from the Columbia County Sheriff’s Department were advised by the Wisconsin State Patrol that they were currently in a pursuit heading their way. Deputies responded to the area and set up spike strips. They observed the suspect vehicle approaching and dragged two sets of spikes across the lanes of traffic. The spike strips successfully made contact with the vehicle tires and a state patrol car also ran over the spikes which caused damage.
The deputies got back into their squad cars and assisted the Wisconsin State Patrol with the pursuit. The suspect vehicle came to a stop shortly after and appeared to have all four tires deflated. Law enforcement officers began shouting commands at the driver (Mark) to exit the vehicle and walk back to them. Mark exited but with his hands raised but had difficulty following commands. He stated that he could not hear the officers well as he was partially deaf.
Eventually, he walked back to the officers and was secured in handcuffs. He was searched and nothing of evidentiary value was located on his person. Mark stated that he was coming from California and driving to New York. He also mentioned that there may be drugs located inside of the vehicle, and a search revealed that there was meth. Mark was secured in a squad car and transported to the sheriffs department to get booked. It was later discovered that Mark somehow put his photo on a real driver's license that had been stolen and was using a false identity for approximately 5 years.
Mark is currently facing charges for Vehicle Operator Fleeing or Eluding an Officer, Possession of Methamphetamine, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Reckless Driving-Endanger Safety, Speeding on Freeway (35+ MPH), Operate w/o Valid License, OWI (1st), and Unsafe Lane Deviation. Mark is also currently being investigated by the FBI for identity theft.
