Two area stories converged into one as the man the Appleton Police Department named a “Person of Interest” in a recent homicide was the man involved in a serious crash in Sheboygan.
Yia Lor was named a person of interest in the death of 56-year-old Paul A Rhoads, who was shot in the 1200 block of North Briarcliff Drive on January 22nd.
He later died in a hospital.
Appleton Police informed the public they were looking for 37-year-old Yia Lor, and on Tuesday he was spotted by a Sheboygan Police Officer.
He was a passenger in a vehicle that had been pulled over, but he jumped into the driver’s seat and sped off.
He quickly ran a stop sign and struck a vehicle.
Lor was taken to a local hospital with what were termed life-threatening injuries, while the driver of the second car suffered serious injuries, and no one in a third vehicle involved was injured.
