According to the Kenosha County Sheriff's Department, a deputy found a suspect driving with a felony warrant for bail jumping and threats to injure near STH 142 and I-94 around 12:50 p.m.

Kenosha County deputies then pursued the car onto I-94 with speeds reaching nearly 100 mph. The suspect exited the interstate at CTH KR before returning to I-94 southbound.

The pursuit continued through the county before ending near US 45 and CTH K (60th Street) when the suspect's car stopped.
