On March 3rd, 2024. Officers from the Mauston Police Department were dispatched to a domestic disturbance complaint. When officers arrived, a female identified as Stephanie explained that she was arguing with her roommate Ryan about his drug use. She explained that she was threatening to kick him out of the house when he placed her in a headlock and choked her. Stephanie also said Ryan bit her in the back before running outside. When asked if the bite caused pain, Stephanie refused to answer. The only noticeable injuries on Stephanie was redness on her upper chest area. Officers searched the area but were unable to locate Ryan. While completing a statement form, Stephanie told an officer that Ryan got upset about her birds making too much noise and “ threw them outside in their cage.” When asked if the birds were ok, Stephanie stated they were not injured at all. The next day, around 2:30 A.M. Stephanie called police again and stated that Ryan was currently parked outside of the residence.
An officer arrived and knocked on the car window that Ryan was in. The officer identified himself and asked Ryan to step out of the vehicle. At that time, a neighbor across the street began recording the incident using a cell phone. Ryan refused to exit the vehicle stating that he did not trust the officer. When a Juneau County Sheriff's Deputy arrived on scene, Ryan shifted into reverse and quickly accelerated backwards. The Juneau County Sheriff's Deputy immediately began following and advised dispatch that he was in a pursuit. Unfortunately, their department does not have dash cameras. Ryan shifted into drive and began fleeing at speeds over 100 MPH. The pursuit lasted approximately 22 miles and ended when deputies were able to disable the fleeing vehicle with spike strips. Ryan followed commands and voluntarily surrendered once his vehicle was stopped.
He was transported to the Juneau County Jail without Incident. Multiple of Ryan’s charges were dismissed including Strangulation and Suffocation, Battery, Disorderly Conduct, 2 counts felony bail jumping, and 24 other citations. He was found guilty for Vehicle Operator Fleeing or Eluding an Officer, and Resisting or Obstructing an Officer. Ryan was sentenced to 1.5 years in prison, 9 months in jail, and 1.5 years of probation.
