A driver led law enforcement on a pursuit Sunday, Dec. 8, that began in Milwaukee County and ended in Racine.

Milwaukee Police say the driver was spotted at about 7:30 a.m Sunday driving a car that was taken during an armed robbery/carjacking on Saturday in the 1900 block of W. Mineral St.

They attempted a traffic stop on the 2300 block of N. 8th St., but the driver, a 46-year-old man, refused to stop. That's when the chase started.

DOT cameras captured the driver heading southbound on I-94 into Racine.

The driver then attempted to exit the freeway by driving the wrong way on an on-ramp near Highway 20.

The chase ended when the vehicle ran out of gas.

Law enforcement then surrounded the vehicle with guns drawn. Officers then removed the driver from the vehicle and took him into custody just before the DOT camera feed was cut.

No injuries were reported in the chase. The Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office is reviewing potential criminal charges.
