*************MEDIA RELEASE**************** On 04/20/2018 at 6:33 pm, the Racine County Communications Center was contacted by the City of Franklin Police Department advising that they needed assistance stopping a vehicle that had fled from a City of Franklin Police Officer following a retail theft at Sendik’s Food Market. Upon entering Racine County, the dispatch center began receiving calls regarding the erratic driving of the offending vehicle. A Racine County Sheriff’s Office deputy spotted the vehicle traveling southbound on South Sylvania and attempted to stop the vehicle. The vehicle fled at a high rate of speed through a construction area. As the driver changed direction and proceeded towards a populated area near STH 20/Washington Ave, the pursuit was terminated. A Village of Sturtevant officer located the vehicle traveling eastbound on STH 20/Washington Ave and attempted to stop the offending vehicle at which time the vehicle fled again. The offending vehicle entered into cul-de-sac and a felony stop was attempted. The vehicle then fled through residential lawns at a high rate of speed and came to a rest after running out of gas on CTH K/Northwestern Ave at Nicholson Rd. A felony stop was conducted and seven occupants were located inside the vehicle, including a fourteen-year-old child. The 30-year-old driver of the vehicle was taken into custody for several counts of Recklessly Endangering Safety and Knowingly Fleeing and Eluding a Traffic Officer. Two other occupants were taken into custody on outstanding warrants. Additional charges are pending from the City of Franklin Police Department and the Village of Sturtevant Police Department.
