Appleton Man in Custody after High Speed Chase on I-41

A 25-year-old man from Appleton is in jail following a high-speed
chase on Interstate 41 early Monday morning that spanned three counties. A Fond
du Lac County Sheriff’s Deputy attempted to stop the vehicle for speeding on
I-41 just before 1 AM. The vehicle failed to stop and fled south on the
interstate, reaching speeds over 100 miles per hour. The vehicle, which was
stolen from the City of Oshkosh, hit a set of stop sticks near County Highway B
in Fond du Lac County and another set in Dodge County. The chase continued into
Washington County, where Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Deputies and Washington
County Deputies were able to stop the car and the suspect was taken into
custody.
