On June 18, 2024. The Jackson County Sheriff's Office was informed by the Black River Falls Police Department that they had a motorcycle flee from them on a traffic stop. Shortly later, a deputy observed a motorcycle traveling 65 MPH in a 35 MPH zone and attempted to conduct a traffic stop. The motorcycle operator (Benjamin) accelerated and the deputy informed dispatch that the motorcycle was fleeing. The department does not have dash cameras; However the deputy was able to record a small amount of the pursuit with his body camera.
Benjamin ran a red light, passed a vehicle in a no passing zone, and drove on the opposite lane of travel with oncoming traffic. As Benjamin made a turn, a deputy behind him got a good look at the right side of his face and recognized him from a previous pursuit that he was involved in at the same location. Benjamin began to drive on a logging trail for a short distance before losing control and falling over before running into the woods.
Deputies exited their squad cars and yelled at Benjamin to get on the ground. Benjamin continued to run as he entered the woods. While chasing after him, one of the deputies slipped in mud and tripped into a downed tree and some brush. Deputies eventually caught up to Benjamin who had also slipped and fell down.
Deputies attempted to grab onto Benjamin's arm but he pulled away. Benjamin was told to stop resisting or that he would be tased. He continued to pull away and fight with deputies. Benjamin was tased and resisted attempts to place him in handcuffs. After being handcuffed and searched, a deputy observed a small baggy where Benjamin was lying which contained a white crystalline substance. The substance later tested positive for methamphetamine and weighted 13.1 grams Benjamin was escorted out of the woods and placed into a squad car. Benjamin was complaining of pain and EMS transported him to the hospital.
Benjamin was found guilty for Vehicle Operator Fleeing or Eluding an Officer and Felony-Bail Jumping. He was sentenced to 2 years of probation and 4 years of extended supervision.
