PLEASANT PRAIRIE, Wis. — The Racine County Sheriff's Office is looking for a Milwaukee man after deputies said he led police on a high-speed chase with his girlfriend and one-year-old child inside Friday night.
Authorities identified the man as Million Harper, 23. [TMJ4 typically does not use mugshots, but has made an exception because he is actively wanted by authorities]
Police describe Harper as a Black male, last seen wearing a brown hat, black hoodie, and blue jeans. He was last seen near HWY C and 94th Ave running eastbound.
According to a press release, Caledonia Police first received a call about a car that was stolen with force from a Mobil Gas Station on Seven Mile Rd.
Once Racine County Sheriff's deputies spotted that vehicle along I-94, they said they worked to pull the car over, but the driver sped off, reaching speeds upwards of 120 MPH.
According to the release, as several agencies pursued the vehicle, the driver eventually excited I94 near Hwy C.
The vehicle led police on a chase into a yard in the 9000 block of Ashbury Lane, near the Ashbury Estates neighborhood. That's when the driver, who the Racine County Sheriff's office believes to be Harper, took off on foot.
Neighbors in the area were home when it happened.
"We were sitting in the living room doing our family Christmas and we didn’t even hear anything. We just saw the lights," Deanna Neumann, a neighbor, said.
"I actually thought the cop went in the ditch but realized there was a car in front of him. I saw the door open and it was just happening so fast."
Police learned that Harper's 22-year-old girlfriend and 1-year-old daughter were in the vehicle during the pursuit. The girlfriend, police say, was pleading with Harper to stop.
Multiple agencies searched the area for hours with drones and K9s, but Harper was not located.
"It was very active. There were a lot of officers walking around the neighborhood and going through my yard," Dave Cox, another neighbor, described.
The Racine County Sheriff's Office investigation revealed the vehicle was stolen from a family member in the City of Milwaukee.
Anyone with information about Harper's location is asked to call Racine County Communications at 262-886-2300 or their local law enforcement agency.
Charges are pending review by the Racine County District Attorney's Office.
