This morning, 3/2/2024, at approximately 10:00 AM a Kenosha Police Officer was on a dedicated traffic assignment and was actively monitoring traffic in the 8200 block of South Sheridan Road. The Officer observed a vehicle traveling recklessly and well in excess of the posted speed limits which created a safety risk to other motorists attempting to enjoy this beautiful Saturday.

The Officer attempted to stop the vehicle and the driver refused to pull over and instead decided to flee south into the Village of Pleasant Prairie. The Pleasant Prairie Police Department greatly assisted KPD by successfully spiking the suspect vehicle in this pursuit as it continued south on Sheridan Road. KPD and PPPD continued to pursue the suspect vehicle into the Village of Winthrop Harbor, IL where WHPD was waiting to assist. The pursuit finally ended in the Village of Winthrop Harbor where the suspect vehicle stopped.

In total there were 5 occupants in the vehicle and the operator was a 16 year old juvenile. The use of pursuit intervention techniques like stop sticks helped bring this pursuit to a safe end. “The Kenosha Police Department is dedicated to maintaining safe roadways for our citizens and visitors to use, said Kenosha Police Spokesman Sergeant Cory Brennan. ” Additionally, the Kenosha Police Department would like to thank the Pleasant Prairie Police Department and the Winthrop Harbor Police Department for their assistance!“
