A driver has been arrested on multiple charges after an early morning encounter with Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Deputies that posed a serious risk of injury to the officers.
A Deputy had stopped an SUV that was observed going almost 15 miles over the limit on County Road B near Highway 310 a little before 3 AM Sunday. The deputy was joined by a second squad after signs of intoxication were noted, and the driver was asked to exit the vehicle. Instead, the 27-year-old Town of Two Rivers man put the SUV in reverse, accelerated and rammed the squad in back of him while continuously squealing around the squad, putting the two deputies at risk in the process.
The man led the deputies on a two mile chase north on Highway Q before he was stopped and arrested. He’s now facing charges of first-offense OWI, Knowingly Fleeing an Officer, Recklessly Endangering Safety, and Resisting or Obstructing an Officer.
