(WFRV) – Authorities in Fond du Lac County say three people were arrested on multiple charges after they led deputies on an almost 7-mile pursuit late Wednesday night.

According to a release from the Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office, deputies made a traffic stop at 11:12 p.m. on I-41 near Military Road in Fond du Lac on a vehicle for an equipment violation.

As the deputy walked up to the vehicle to make contact with those inside, officials say the vehicle fled from the scene.

The suspect vehicle reportedly began increasing its speed and ignored the deputy’s emergency lights and sirens as it continued to flee north on I-41

After an officer with the North Fond du Lac Police Department successfully deployed Stop Stick tire deflation devices on I-41 near Winnebago Street, the vehicle slowed and was eventually brought to a stop after law enforcement used a box-in maneuver.

Once the vehicle was stopped following a 6.7-mile pursuit, officials say deputies conducted a “high-risk” traffic stop and took the driver of the vehicle and two passengers into custody.
