Name withheld by police

How they died

Pursuit

Around 12:14 a.m., a deputy stopped a speeding other. When the deputy approached the other, he suspected the driver was under the influence of alcohol. The officer asked the driver to exit the car to conduct a sobriety test, and the driver complied. The driver said he needed to grab something from his own car. The deputy told the driver he was prohibited, but the driver eventually drove off. The deputy pursued for about seven miles until the deputy lost sight of the other and reportedly ended the pursuit. Police found that the other had struck a tree in a field driveway. The passenger was killed, and the driver was transported to Barron Hospital with minor injuries. The driver was arrested for suspicion of operating a motor other while intoxicated, his sixth offense. He was also arrested for homicide causing death by intoxicated use of motor other and fleeing an officer.
