A police chase stretching from Dodge and Fond du Lac Counties has resulted in drug charges for the driver.
Fond du Lac County Communications Center was notified of a reckless driver traveling north on U.S. Highway 151 just before 5:30 p.m. yesterday (September 16th).
The driver, a 34-year-old Green Bay woman, was reported to be varying speeds and weaving all over the roadway as she neared Fond du Lac County lines from Dodge County.
A Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s deputy located the vehicle and attempted to make a traffic stop near Thill Road after observing the 34-year-old nearly strike another vehicle.
Erratically swerving, the driver failed to yield to law enforcement, and the chase continued.
Sheriff’s deputies eventually boxed her in and ended their pursuit.
The driver was arrested, and a search of her vehicle found suspected fentanyl pills.
The Green Bay woman is facing charges of felony eluding, first-degree recklessly endangering safety, possession with intent to deliver – schedule one and two narcotics, possession of drug paraphernalia, and operating while intoxicated.
During the five-mile chase, the Wisconsin State Patrol assisted the Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office.
