MILWAUKEE — A 44-year-old Milwaukee man and a 43-year-old woman are in custody after the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office said they led deputies on a chase in a U-Haul truck Tuesday morning.
It began when sheriff's office detectives spotted the 44-year-old man, who they said was wanted for questioning in connection with a recent homicide, a probation violation, and a possible sex offender registry violation.
He was seen at 9:47 a.m. near 8th Street and Brown Street.
The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office said he then entered a U-Haul truck, which had not been reported stolen, and fled from deputies, sideswiping several other vehicles, including a Milwaukee County Transit bus, in the process.
