updated
As deputies arrived, they observed a maroon Buick sedan on its roof, about 20 yards off the roadway. A Barron County deputy and several first responders were already on scene. Chris was escorted out of the woods so EMS could assess for injuries. While walking, Chris stumbled multiple times and had an odor of alcohol emanating from his person. Chris was secured in handcuffs and asked if he was hurt, to which he replied "I don't think so, I don't know". He was questioned on why he ran into the woods and Chris stated "I was just trying to get out of the car". While speaking with Chris he was slurring his words and showed difficulty formulating sentences. Chris admitted to drinking but denied being the driver of the car.
Byer was also escorted out of the woods where it was discovered that he had a gash on his left foot. Byer refused to say his name and began asking for his lawyer. A search of Byer's person did not reveal a wallet or anything that would help identify him. He then began screaming loudly and continuously asking for a lawyer. At this point in the investigation Byer's identity was not known to law enforcement.
Deputies asked Byer to identify himself numerous times and each time he refused. Chris appeared to be extremely confused and did not know where the crash had occurred. Chris stated that he had not been driving and EMS personnel took him to the ambulance for treatment.
While speaking with Byer, deputies observed several indicators consistent with intoxication including, the odor of alcohol emanating from his breath, disorientation, slurred speech, red
glossy eyes, and erratic behavior. Byer was placed in handcuffs and stated "I cant believe I did this". Byer then began screaming and banging his head on the ground and said that his life was over. EMS personnel took him to the same ambulance as Chris and transported them to the hospital for medical clearance.
Deputies then made contact with the registered owner of the crashed vehicle (Sarah), who was the girlfriend of Byer. Sarah said she learned about the situation after Byer contacted her stating that he had been involved in a crash. Sarah said that she was trying to get more information from Byer before he explained that he was getting arrested and hung up. She advised that she believed Byer to be the driver at the time of the crash but was not 100% sure. Sarah mentioned that she heard Christopher had fallen down stairs and was injured before the accident occurred.
Deputies then spoke to Christopher at the hospital. They informed him that he was not under arrest and asked him what had happened. Christopher stated that he was not driving. When asked who was driving, Christopher was hesitant to say but eventually stated that Byer was the driver. He was questioned about the injury on his chin and asked if it occurred prior to the crash. Christopher stated that he never fell down any stairs as Sarah explained and said his injuries were from the accident. When asked if he consumed any alcohol or drugs, Christopher stated that he used alcohol and THC, and occasionally uses cocaine. He agreed to sign a medical release of information form to law enforcement and was released from the hospital without any charges.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Byer continued to scream loudly, and it was discovered that his license was revoked due to having 3 prior alcohol related convictions, 2 of which were OWI. Byer was asked if he would consent to an evidentiary chemical test of his blood, to which he initially denied but eventually allowed hospital personnel to draw his blood. A blood analysis from the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene revealed that Byer had a .183 BAC. While waiting for medical clearance, Byer became extremely agitated, screaming loudly and began banging his head into the hospital room wall, causing damage to the drywall. This was not recorded on body camera but the damage was later photographed. Byer was handcuffed again and transported to the Rusk County Jail where he was turned over to jail staff.
Byer was found guilty for Operating While Intoxicated (3rd), Criminal Damage to Property, Failure to Keep Vehicle Under Control, Failure of Operator to Notify Police of Accident, Operating a motor vehicle w/o insurance, and Operating While Revoked. He was sentenced to 130 days in jail and 1 year of probation. Byer was also required to pay $4870 in fines, and $300 in restitution.

Once another officer arrived, Christopher was asked to step out of the vehicle. He complied and agreed to let an officer search him. Nothing of evidentiary value was located on his person and he was asked to complete field sobriety tests. Christopher initially denied but ended up agreeing to complete the horizontal gaze nystagmus (HGN) test. While completing the test, his mother arrived on scene. Christopher stated that he wanted to get his dog into his mothers car and did not wish to complete the field sobriety tests.
Christopher was advised that he was under arrest for OWI 7th offence and was secured in handcuffs. He became upset and started to shout profanities towards officers. While being searched again, Christopher pulled away from officers and continued to make rude comments. As Christopher was being secured into a squad car, he turned his head towards an officer and spit directly into his face.
Officers took Christopher out of the squad car and told him to get on the ground. Christopher resisted and said “Put me on the ground” multiple times. He was taken to the ground and continued to spit and shout profanities. Officers determined that a spit mask would be required and that Christopher would be transported to the hospital in a restraint chair.
An officer was able to get Christopher’s dog into his mothers vehicle and had her leave the scene. Christopher was placed in a spit mask and another officer arrived with a restraint chair and transport van. Christopher was secured into the restraint chair and began making threats towards law enforcement. He was then wheeled into the van and transported to the hospital. A search of his vehicle did not reveal anything of evidentiary value other than the alcoholic beverage that was pierced open by the dog.
At the hospital, Christopher refused a blood draw but officers were able to get a warrant. Christopher was escorted into the hospital and allowed his blood to be drawn without issue. He was then secured into the van again and transported to the Waukesha County Jail. Christopher’s blood draw later revealed he had a .223 BAC
Christopher was found guilty for OWI 7th, Throw or Discharge Bodily Fluid at Public Safety Worker, and Battery or Threat to aLaw Enforcement Officer. He was sentenced to 6 years in prison and 8 years of extended supervision.

Several officers responded to the scene and other local agencies including the Village of Ashwaubenon, the City of Green Bay, and the Brown County Sheriff's Office also responded. When officers arrived, they located a male with a rifle near the boat landing area. Law enforcement personnel gave the male (Scott) verbal commands to drop the weapon and walk back to them. Scott did not comply and fired a shot into the air before making suicidal comments. He was drinking and at one point urinated into the water.
Officers spent about 25 minutes trying to negotiate with Scott and the Sheriff's Department arrived with a bearcat. Scott was shot with a pepperball round before he pointed his firearm towards officers. Three De Pere Police officers, and three Ashwaubenon Police officers discharged their firearms at Scott. He was struck by the gunfire and medical aid was provided by officers on scene and first responders from the City of De Pere Fire Department. Shortly later, Scott was pronounced deceased at the scene by a medical professional. No law enforcement officers or members of the public were injured during this incident.

Nothing of evidentiary value was located and Ever was transported to the Marshfield Police Department where he was read his Miranda rights. He agreed to answer questions and eventually admitted to hearing the officers siren.

Jaylin initially slowed down as if he was stopping before accelerating away. He fled for a short distance before turning into a bank parking lot and driving the wrong way through the ATM drive thru. The vehicle then exited the parking lot and came to a stop. Jaylin immediately opened his door and began to walk towards officers while they shouted verbal commands to stay in the car. Jaylin stopped approximately 10 feet away from officers when they activated their taser which produced a noise but it was never deployed. Officers approached Jaylin and searched him with nothing of evidentiary value being located on his person. He was secured in handcuffs before being placed into a squad car.
An officer wrote in his report that as he was speaking with Jaylin that “ I detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath. His speech sounded slurred, his eyes appeared glassy, and he would frequently repeat himself. I observed that there was a dent in the rear bumper of Jaylin's car that was consistent with backing into another vehicle.” Jaylin was read his Miranda rights and stated he drank 1-2 beers at the bar.
Another officer went to check the damages on the truck that Jaylin struck. A records check of the licence plate revealed that it belonged to (Jake) an officer employed by the Lake Geneva Police Department. Jake was called and walked over to his truck. He stated that because the damage was minor that he did not wish to press charges or seek restitution.
A search of the vehicle revealed a glass jar behind the front passenger seat. The glass jar had a picture of a marijuana leaf on it along with a small amount of a green leafy substance, which later tested positive for THC. Jaylin was transported to the police department where he refused to perform field sobriety tests. Jaylin also stated that he would refuse to submit to a blood draw. Officers got a search warrant for Jaylin's blood and transported him to the hospital.
At the hospital, Jaylin initially refused to sit on a bed and resisted officers' attempts to get him to comply. Eventually Jaylin calmed down and allowed his blood to be drawn.

A perimeter was secured and multiple law enforcement officers began searching for Jason. It was unknown to officers at the time who the suspect was but he was described as a tall, middle aged white male with short salt and pepper hair. Deputies from the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department arrived and shouted on their PA that they would be releasing a K9 if Jason did not come out. A drone was deployed and officers began clearing unsecured sheds and cars.
Jason's vehicle was still running where he left it. As officers approached, they could see what appeared to be marijuana sitting in plain view. A search of the vehicle revealed a wallet containing Jason's license and other personal information. Officers also located multiple pill bottles in Jason's name, suspected methamphetamine, and multiple drug paraphernalia items inside.
After searching for Jason, officers determined that he likely fled the area before they got the perimeter secured and decided to tow his vehicle to the police department and stop searching for him. Back at the police department, officers tested the suspected meth which tested positive for methamphetamine and weighed 1.16 grams, and the suspected marijuana tested positive for THC and weighed 16.39 grams.
A warrant was later issued for Jason's arrest and he decided to turn himself in and admitted to throwing drugs out of the vehicle while fleeing. While being questioned, Jason stated that he hid in the back of someone's pickup truck until morning when he walked home. He denied being a dealer and stated that all of the contraband located was for personal use. When asked why he fled, Jason stated that he tried to throw drugs out the window when he first saw the officer behind him, but the drugs hit the window and fell back into the car. Jason also mentioned that he crashed into the stop sign because his brakes were not working well. He stated “I'm too old for all this, 50 years old acting like I'm 20 running from the cops. I don't know how I got away anyways.” Jason was found guilty for Vehicle Operator Flee/Elude Officer and Possession of Methamphetamine. He was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison and 4 years of probation.

The officer exited his patrol vehicle and shouted at the males to stop. They immediately jumped up off the ground and one of the males who was later identified as Marshall stated "He tried stabbing me". A short time later, an officer from the Arcadia Police Department arrived on scene, along with a deputy from the Trempealeau County Sheriff's Department. The other male individual was identified as Josiah and had a strong odor of intoxicants coming from his person. Josiah was asked how old he was and he stated that he was 19 years old.

Officers explained that they could not and Josiah asked if he could get his phone charger from the vehicle he was in earlier.
An officer approached the vehicle and was greeted by two females who were in the front seat. The officer asked if they had Josiah's phone charger. They looked around but stated that they did not have it. As the officer was speaking with them, he could smell an odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle. The officer explained that he could smell the marijuana and they denied having any in the vehicle.

The deputy returned to his squad car to check Kenneth’s record where he learned that Kenneth’s license was revoked due to a previous Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) conviction in 2019. Additionally, the vehicle registration plates displayed were not associated with any vehicle. As the deputy waited for backup, he observed a Ziploc sandwich baggie blow out from under the vehicle near the driver-side door. The deputy wrote in his report that:
“ The baggie appeared to have been discarded by Kennith or someone inside the vehicle. I retrieved the Ziploc baggie from the highway and placed it on the north shoulder of the road in front of the vehicle. The baggie contained approximately five buds of a green, vegetable-like substance, which, based on my training and experience, appeared to be marijuana.”
“Robert stated that he had recently been released from jail on bond and had no intention of being involved with drugs, especially in the presence of his child. Kennith, however, admitted to possessing the marijuana. He became increasingly agitated and began yelling, screaming, and banging on the interior of the vehicle, punching the steering wheel, and excessively honking the horn.”
Robert and his son had exited the vehicle and the deputy allowed them to sit in the back of his squad car to stay warm. When Kennith was asked to shut the engine off, Kennith threw the car keys across the roadway.

The deputies asked Kennith to step out of the vehicle. Kennith complied but continued shouting profanities. He was secured in handcuffs and placed into a squad car where he continued to yell but was not combative. While en route to the jail, Kennith began banging his head against the interior cage of the squad vehicle, causing a laceration to his forehead.

Another officer arrived in the meantime and approached the female passenger who stated she did not want to provide identification. Donald was questioned about having an Ignition Interlock Device and was asked multiple times to step out of the vehicle. An officer opened Donald’s door to remove him when Donald became combative and accelerated, fleeing from the traffic stop.
The two officers on scene ran back to their squad cars and notified dispatch that they were in a pursuit. Donald's record showed that he was a felon and was often in possession of a firearm. Officers set up spike strips but Donald slowed down and drove into the ditch to go around the spikes. A deputy from the St.Croix Sheriff’s Department caught up to the pursuit and attempted to conduct a PIT maneuver. It was unsuccessful and the deputy lost control of his vehicle and went off the road.
Eventually, a deputy was able to do a successful PIT maneuver on the fleeing vehicle which caused it to go into the ditch. Law enforcement officers boxed in the vehicle with their squad cars and shouted commands to stop. Donald tried to ram his way through squad cars in an attempt to escape. The female passenger eventually exited and the driver side window was smashed out and Donald was tased. A deputy also fired a less lethal beanbag round at Donald and other deputies ripped him out of the vehicle. Donald resisted and was tased again as he was being removed from the vehicle.
After being tased multiple times, Donald put his hands behind his back and was secured in handcuffs. A deputy searched Donald and secured him inside of a squad car. A search of the vehicle revealed a firearm, numerous drug paraphernalia items, pills, and multiple small baggies consistent with what a drug dealer would possess.
The female passenger, Savanna was questioned about the firearm. She stated that she took it from Donald and planned on throwing it out of the window. Savanna also told the officer that she was on probation and was actively using drugs. Both Savanna and Donald were transported to the hospital for medical clearance. At the hospital, Donald agreed to a blood draw.
Donald was found guilty for 2nd-Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety, Out-of-State Felon Possessing a Firearm, Resisting an Officer - Causing Soft Tissue Injury, and OWI (2nd). He was sentenced to 8 years in prison and 11 years of extended supervision. Donald was also required to pay $7,388 in restitution, and $4126 in fines.

The deputy paced the vehicle's speed at 104MPH and called out to dispatch that he was in a pursuit. Traffic was light at the time and the suspect vehicle’s speed stayed consistent between 104MPH and 108MPH until entering the village of Pulaski. The vehicle began to pass traffic before slowing down to approximately 70MPH. After making a few turns, the suspect, later identified and Brandon slowed to approximately 20MPH and a citizen threw a Pumpkin at his vehicle. Brandon continued to flee and failed to stop at a stop sign.
Brandon eventually reached a dead end road and turned into a driveway and continued to flee through backyards of houses. The deputy followed and Brandon crossed a ditch that ran through the backyards. The ditch had a small walking bridge that got damaged after Brandon and the deputy ran it over. The suspect vehicle almost got stuck but was able to continue fleeing through yards before driving back onto the roadway. Brandon failed to stop at multiple other stop signs and passed a truck in a no passing zone. Brandon turned into a church parking lot before driving onto the grass and proceeding back onto the road again.
In the Deputy's report, he wrote: “It should be noted that while pursuing the vehicle in the village of Pulaski, I did not observe any pedestrian traffic other than the local concerned pumpkin thrower.”
Brandon got back on the highway again before eventually pulling over on an exit ramp. He put both hands out the window and law enforcement performed a high risk stop.

Once on scene, officers observed a smashed up Polaris UTV in the roadway. As officers approached, they saw multiple Busch Light cans that were scattered around the UTV. A witness stated that he heard a big boom that sounded like a car crashing into a building. When he went outside to look, he observed the crash scene and saw two men pinned under the UTV. He said he helped the men up and told them that “the cops were coming.” The two men then fled and entered a nearby bar.
Officers got the description of the suspects and entered the bar to look for them. They walked into a back room of the bar and said “police department.” Two men exited the bathroom and appeared to be injured. One of the individuals was cleaning a wound on his head and the other male had a cut on his cheek and broken glass on his shirt. Both men matched the description given by witnesses but they denied being involved in an accident. They were later identified as Dave and Doug. Dave stated that they got their injuries by "Allstar Wrestling on the pavement." Both continued to deny knowing anything about an accident.
Officers could smell the odor of intoxicants coming from both individuals and noted that they had slurred speech. EMS arrived in the meantime and checked on Doug who appeared to have more serious injuries. Officers continued to question Dave and tried to get him to admit to being the driver. Dave denied being involved in the UTV crash and at one point got close to an officer and said "Who do you think you are talking to?"
At that point, officers demanded that Dave step outside and escorted him out of the bar. Once outside, officers pointed out the crashed UTV to Dave and confronted him about the small chards of broken glass on his shirt. Dave again denied being involved saying "I don't know at the moment." Dave refused to be seen by EMS and said he did not know if the UTV was his. Officers questioned one of the witnesses again who stated that the guy in the green shirt (Dave) was the driver. Another deputy spoke with Doug who also would not provide any information about the crash.
An officer asked Dave where he was coming from. Dave responded, "A round about way." The officer asked him how much he had to drink, and Dave stated, "The first and the last." He continued to deny being involved in the crash and officers informed Dave that he would be under arrest for Operating a UTV While Intoxicated. Dave was placed in handcuffs and secured into a squad car. Officers realized they forgot to perform a search of Dave’s person so they took Dave out of the squad car to perform a search. Dave was placed back into the squad car and a tow truck was called for the UTV. Dave was asked if he was willing to provide an evidentiary sample of his blood for which he denied, saying "I didn't do anything wrong." At that point, officers issued him an additional citation for refusing to take the test.
Doug provided a PBT sample while in the ambulance which showed he had a BAC of 0.15 and was deemed okay to be released to a responsible party. Dave was transported to the Evansville Police Department and escorted to a room to sit while an officer drafted the search warrant for his blood. While at the police department, Dave said "So where's my Ranger at the moment." Once the search warrant was signed, the officer informed Dave that they would be going to the hospital. Dave became argumentative saying he wasn't getting his blood even with a search warrant. After informing him that he did not have a choice, Dave stated that it was his right to not give a blood sample but eventually agreed to go to the hospital.
While in the squad car, Dave made multiple comments about being “Old School” and said that things aren't how they used to be. Dave was informed that he would need to have a responsible party pick him up from the jail. Dave responded saying, "I am taking my Ranger home when I am done." As they arrived at the hospital, Dave was cooperative throughout the entire blood draw process. After the blood draw, Dave was escorted back to the Evansville Police Department to get booked. The results of Dave’s blood draw revealed that he had a BAC of .118.
Dave was found guilty for Operating an ATV or UTV While Intoxicated after he pleaded no contest and he was ordered to pay a $326 fine. Doug, the passenger, was released without any charges.

The vehicle blew through a stop sign at speeds around 30 MPH. As Tyler continued to flee, the deputy observed a person in the passenger seat put their hands on their head briefly. The vehicle reached speeds of 100 MPH when there was minimal traffic on the road. Dispatch stated the license plate was registered to a Chevrolet Cobalt, not a Hyundai Elantra. They also advised that the registered owner of the license plate was on active parole for robbery and other criminal offenses. As deputies pursued the vehicle, one of them performed a PIT (pursuit intervention technique) on the vehicle at 35 MPH. Tyler attempted to out drive the PIT, causing deputies to take longer to complete the maneuver. The vehicle spun off in a 180 degree turn to the right and off the road into a field. Tyler drove through the grass for a short distance before he was able to get his vehicle back on the roadway. The pursuit continued with speeds around 100 MPH. Another deputy successfully administered a PIT which brought the vehicle to a stop in front of a post office. The vehicle pursuit lasted approximately 28 miles.
Tyler exited the driver seat and started running on foot. A deputy chased after him and simultaneously remotely opened the rear squad door, releasing K-9 Rebel to assist with the apprehension. Tyler quickly surrendered and a citizen began to approach. There is a slight delay with the door popper of the squad car. K-9 Rebel was running at full speed towards the civilian who was heading towards a deputy. It was believed that K-9 Rebel did not know where his handler was and needed verbal cues to direct him away from the citizen. A deputy grabbed control of him, preventing a K-9 bite to the suspect. A sergeant arrived and took the driver into custody as deputies ordered the female passenger from the vehicle.
Tyler stated he fled because he was drinking and was “too drunk to pull over.” He said he consumed 5 twisted Teas and 1 Fireball shot and was a 4-5 drunk on a scale of 1-10. Tyler picked up his female passenger then went to the bar in Tomah. He stated he had previously ran from Elroy and they gave up the chase, leading him to believe that they would do the same.
Tyler agreed to a PBT which showed he had a .114 BAC. A deputy read Tyler the informing the accused form and asked if he consented to a legal blood draw. Tyler refused and deputies received a warrant for his blood. After the blood draw, Tyler was transported to the Monroe County Jail and handed over to the jail staff without incident.
A search of the vehicle and Tyler's person revealed 5.6 grams of a green leafy substance which later tested positive for THC. Opened and sealed Twisted Tea bottles/cans. A one hitter pipe in a wooden box, and miscellaneous drug paraphernalia items including smoking pipes and a metal grinder .
Tyler was found guilty for Vehicle Operator Flee/Elude Officer, 2nd-Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety, and OWI (1st). He was sentenced to 4 years in prison and 4 years of extended supervision. Tyler's license also got revoked for 6 months and he was ordered to pay $826 in fines. The passenger was released without any charges.

A deputy from the Iowa County Sheriff’s Department heard the trooper over the police radio that the vehicle was traveling at 110 MPH and coming his way.

As he caught up to the Lexus, it slowed down to approximately 80 MPH, then sped up to over 100 MPH. The deputy notified dispatch that he was in a pursuit but never got close enough to the Lexus to read its license plate. During the pursuit, the deputy noticed the state trooper behind him and requested over the radio for the trooper to take over lead on the pursuit because his squad did not hold up well when traveling at a high rate of speed.
