Soon after, there was a high-speed pursuit of the suspect vehicle that began in Hayward, Wisconsin on State Highway 77. The vehicle was identified as begin stolen from Jackson County.
Authorities pursued the suspect vehicle to a location on County Highway E where the male driver, the only occupant of the car, fled the vehicle on foot. Search efforts were unsuccessful.
