(Kenosha County Sheriff)
Bristol, Wis. – A 32-year-old Illinois man is now behind bars, facing multiple felony charges after leading law enforcement on a high-speed chase that began in Bristol, Wisconsin, and ended in Antioch, Illinois. The chase was ultimately halted by the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department.
Raymond P. Underwood was officially charged on Tuesday with three counts of First-Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety and Attempting to Flee or Elude an Officer. All charges are felony repeaters, and if convicted, Underwood could face up to 40 years in prison. Already a convicted felon with a history of legal troubles in both Illinois and Wisconsin, Underwood remains in custody as authorities determine when he will be extradited to Wisconsin to face these latest charges.
Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge Jodi Meier has signed a $100,000 cash warrant for Underwood’s arrest. His extradition timeline remains uncertain.
Details of the Incident
According to the criminal complaint, the incident occurred on March 3, 2025, when Deputy Stich of the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department was monitoring traffic near the 7900 block of U.S. Highway 45/200th Avenue in the Village of Bristol. Deputy Stich observed a blue Chevrolet Cavalier with Wisconsin registration BAB-2815 traveling south and determined that the registered owner had no valid driver’s license issued in Wisconsin.
Deputy Stich initiated a traffic stop after noticing the vehicle following another car too closely. However, the driver refused to pull over, accelerating to speeds of approximately 105 mph. The pursuit escalated as the suspect vehicle drove into the northbound lane while traveling south, passed another vehicle on the right shoulder, and narrowly avoided collisions.
Dispatch later informed Deputy Stich that the registered owner of the vehicle, Mason Spencer, had an active warrant for his arrest related to a reckless homicide case. As the chase progressed, the suspect vehicle ran a red light at Illinois Route 173 and collided head-on with a red Dodge Ram in the middle of the intersection. The vehicle then spun out of control and struck a utility pole.
Arrest and Confession
Following the crash, Deputy Stich witnessed Underwood, the driver, move to the back seat in an apparent attempt to disguise his role in the incident. Two other occupants were in the vehicle. Underwood was positively identified and found to have a revoked Illinois driver’s license.
Deputy Stich accompanied Underwood in an ambulance en route to Condell Medical Center in Illinois. During transport, Underwood repeatedly admitted to driving the suspect vehicle. One of the passengers, Mason Spencer, confirmed to law enforcement that he had pleaded with Underwood to stop, emphasizing that the car was not stolen.

Scum. Time to spend the rest of his miserable life in prison
He seems nice, not even a little broken. Probably a good boy, going back to school soon, turning his life around. 🥴
These are the types of things that happen when criminals are allowed to plea down to a measly obstruction of justice charge in cases like fatal drug overdoses. Ten years later, Spencer is still wreaking havoc.
