WAUKESHA COUNTY, Wis. — Authorities in several jurisdictions chased a suspect through several counties from Illinois and Wisconsin, ending in Waukesha County with a crash and several damaged squad cars on Tuesday.
A suspect is in custody after a crash ended the chase outside of Orthopaedic Associates of Wisconsin in Pewaukee.
The incident began around 2 p.m. According to the Waukesha Police Department, officers were alerted regarding a suspect wanted for an armed carjacking, armed robbery, and vehicle pursuits.
State Patrol and police then chased him near the Orthopaedic Associates of Wisconsin where his car was pitted. Police say the vehicle was stopped in a marsh area, but the suspect was revving his engine, suggesting he was continuing to attempt to flee.
Sources tell TMJ4 News the vehicle the suspect was driving was stolen out of Milwaukee. The suspect allegedly drove to Illinois, and committed unknown crimes before being intercepted by law enforcement there.
Police say Waukesha's K9 apprehended the suspect after he refused to listen and surrender to law enforcement. The suspect was transported to a local hospital due to his injuries.
No officers, including the K9, were hurt, but a total of four City of Waukesha police cars were damaged.
The City of Waukesha, Wisconsin State Patrol, and Waukesha Sheriff’s Department were all involved in stopping the suspect.
Charges decisions will be made at a later time, the Waukesha Police Department says.
