Executive SummaryAI
Around 1am on February 13th, 2024, a Rock County Sheriff's deputy stopped a white Camry doing 36 in a 25 mph zone in Orfordville, Wisconsin, and asked the driver for his license and rental agreement.
Checks showed 26-year-old Kevin's rental agreement had expired at 10.30 p.m. the night before, that he was on paper for fleeing and receiving stolen property over $5,000, and that his 10pm-7am curfew put him four hours out of compliance.
When the deputy told Kevin to step out, the car took off southbound toward Beloit, and the pursuit ran at 75 then 100 miles an hour with five occupants aboard until spikes hit two tires.
Kevin and passenger Deshawn ran on foot and were taken at gunpoint, while the three women stayed behind and told deputies they had met the men at a bar that night and did not know them or where they were going.
Deputies recovered $541 in cash, two phones and 39.73 grams of a green leafy substance that tested positive for THC; Kevin was sentenced to 18 months in state prison plus two years extended supervision, and Deshawn to 90 days in jail.
