Teens lead authorities on high-speed chase

A juvenile from Milwaukee led authorities on a high-speed chase on state Highway 29 early Thursday, according to the Shawano County Sheriff’s Department. A sheriff’s deputy spotted a vehicle driving recklessly and at high speeds near the County Road K exit about 2 a.m. The driver ignored the deputy’s attempt to pull over the vehicle, and a chase reaching speeds of 120 mph ensued as the vehicle headed east toward Bonduel. Deputies were able to spike the tires of the fleeing vehicle, which eventually came to a stop near the Kwik Trip in Bonduel, according to the sheriff’s department. A 16-year-old boy was taken into custody and referred to social services for knowingly fleeing an officer and resisting/obstructing an officer. He also did not have a valid driver’s license, according to authorities. A 16-year-old passenger, a girl from Milwaukee, was also referred to social services for obstructing an officer. A 17-year-old girl who was also in the vehicle was not facing any charges.
