On January 28, 2024. An officer from the Horicon Police Department observed a Chevrolet Malibu that appeared to be going approximately 35 to 40mph in a posted 25mph speed zone. The officer caught up to the vehicle and conducted a DOT records check and learned that the vehicle's registration was suspended. A traffic stop was initiated and the driver (Roy) refused to pull over. Roy entered a park and accelerated to approximately 43 MPH in a posted 15 MPH zone before spinning out on snow and stopping about 0.8 miles into the pursuit.
The officer exited his squad car and shouted at Roy to put his hands up. Roy complied and stated that he had music playing and did not see or hear the police car behind him. The officer ordered him to exit the vehicle and get on his knees until backup arrived. An officer from the Mayville police department arrived and Roy was secured in a squad car after being handcuffed. Officers cleared the vehicle of any other occupants and located paraphernalia in plain view.
A search of the vehicle revealed:
Two small jars labeled “flower-live rosin-jam”. In the jars, officers observed a waxy substance believed to be marijuana wax.
Empty black tubes containing suspected marijuana residue.
A pink mouth piece to a marijuana vape device commonly known as a dab pen.
An unopened bottle of Hennessy liquor in the vehicle.
Roy was then informed that he would be transported to the police department so he could complete standardized field sobriety tests based on his driving behavior and the illegal substances located in his vehicle. Roy continued to claim he was not trying to flee and that he had not noticed the squad car due to his music.
Officers conducted field sobriety tests in the garage at the police department and did not observe sufficient impairment to support an OWI arrest on Roy. He also provided a PBT sample of .000. Roy claimed he had been up since 4 a.m. the day before this stop as he had to work. Roy was read his Miranda rights and placed back into the squad car. He was transported to the Dodge County Jail to get booked. Roy was found guilty for Vehicle Operator Flee/Elude Officer. He was sentenced to 9 months in jail and 18 months of probation.
