Arrest warrant issued after chase

An arrest warrant was issued this week for a Hatley teen accused of leading authorities on a high-speed chase before fleeing on foot in the town of Wittenberg. Amos W. Wodora, 18, could face a maximum 3½ years in prison and a $10,000 fine if found guilty. He is also charged with misdemeanor counts of possession of marijuana and bail jumping. Shawano County sheriff’s deputies around 11:30 p.m. Monday spotted a vehicle going nearly 90 mph on southbound U.S. Highway 45, according to the criminal complaint. A chase ensued that wound through Wittenberg for about three miles and reached speeds of over 100 mph, according to the complaint. The vehicle was located in a driveway on Webb Street, where two teenage passengers went into a residence. The driver had fled the scene on foot. The passengers identified the driver as Wodora, according to the complaint. The complaint also alleges that deputies found a baggie of marijuana in the vehicle, along with an open bottle of vodka. The passengers were cited for underage drinking and possession of open intoxicants.
