For the second time this week, law enforcement in Kenosha County was involved today in a high-speed pursuit.
The chase today originated in Milwaukee County before moving to Racine County and eventually Kenosha County.
Sheriff’s Department spokesman Sgt. Bill Beth issued the following statement regarding today’s incident:
Today a police pursuit entered Kenosha County on I -94 EB (southbound) at approximately 1042 hrs and terminated in Kenosha County on I-94 EB North of CTH C at approximately 1054 hrs.

Tuesday, Kenosha Police, Kenosha County Sheriff’s deputies, Pleasant Prairie Police and State Patrol were involved in chasing a suspect twice before he eventually crashed his truck, abandoned the vehicle and then was captured with the help of a police helicopter. Our sister site KenoWi.com had some photos of that incident from freelance photographer Earlene Frederick.
