(Milwaukee Sheriff)
Kenosha County, Wis. – A 19-year-old Milwaukee man is facing numerous felony charges in both Milwaukee and Kenosha counties after leading police on a dangerous high-speed chase that spanned nearly 10 miles in Kenosha County alone and involved multiple law enforcement agencies.
John A. Edmonds, was charged in Kenosha County on March 4, 2025 with eight counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety and one count of attempting to flee or elude an officer. A Kenosha County Court Commissioner set his cash bail at $50,000. Meanwhile, the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s office filed additional charges on March 5, 2025, including first-degree recklessly endangering safety, two counts of second-degree recklessly endangering safety, hit-and-run, fleeing and eluding an officer, and fleeing and eluding an officer causing bodily harm or property damage. Edmonds is currently being held at the Milwaukee County Jail with a $20,000 cash bail.
Authorities have not yet determined when Edmonds will be extradited to Kenosha County to face his charges.
The Chase Begins in West Allis
According to a criminal complaint, the pursuit started in West Allis on Sunday March 2, 2025, at about 1:30 a.m. when officers attempted to stop a white Chevrolet Tahoe, bearing Illinois license plates, for reckless driving. The vehicle reportedly struck a police squad car before fleeing southbound on Interstate 94 with its lights turned off.
As the pursuit entered Kenosha County, law enforcement deployed a tire deflation device near State Highway 158, but the driver continued speeding westbound on State Highway 50. Deputies reported that speeds exceeded 100 mph as the vehicle swerved dangerously around other motorists, including a van pulling a trailer in a 35 mph zone.
A deputy attempted a precision immobilization technique (PIT) maneuver, causing the vehicle to briefly spin out before the driver regained control and continued the chase. Eventually, the suspect vehicle turned south onto State Highway 83, where one of its tires began to come apart, leaving debris on the roadway.
Chase Ends Near Elementary School, Suspects Flee on Foot
The vehicle finally came to a stop near Salem Elementary School, where two individuals jumped out and fled on foot. Law enforcement officers searched the surrounding area, including nearby apartments, sheds, and garages, but were unable to locate the fleeing suspects.
Police took Edmonds and four other individuals into custody at the scene. The passengers were identified as Anthony Osario, Christian Tapia, Santiago Gutierrez, and Ariel Quintanila.
A search of the vehicle uncovered ammunition, marijuana, and cocaine, according to law enforcement officials. The vehicle was later impounded by West Allis police, who documented the damage and conducted an inventory before towing it from the scene.
Ongoing Investigation
Authorities continue to search for the two unidentified individuals who escaped on foot. Police K9 units and UAV drones were deployed during the search, but no additional arrests have been made.
Edmonds remains in custody in Milwaukee County as officials determine the timeline for his transfer to Kenosha County. If convicted of the charges, he faces significant prison time for his alleged role in the dangerous pursuit.
This remains a developing story.

10 miles? If it came down the interstate from West Allis and ended in Salem Lakes, it was probably in the 50+ mile range. Just in Kenosha county from the county line, down the interstate to 50, west to 83 and then south to the school is almost 18 miles.
Lipstick Boy! Another Liberal Gender Confused Aberration.
Seven individuals in one vehicle.
Five apprehended.
Two ran away.
Into the 2 am darkness in a residential neighborhood. Both east and west of a grade school. (some of my information was reported elsewhere)
Ammunition was found in the vehicle but no guns.
Yet to this day no press release or warning to the local Salem community from the sheriff about two, “possibly” armed individuals could be hiding out in their backyards ?
Information from other sources state that that some if not all were from Illinois. Possibly the two who got away called “friends” to come get them in the early morning darkness and got rides the deputies didn’t see.
I for one am really disappointed that the sheriff’s office didn’t put out a press release, warning or stating that local Salem residents should be diligent about our outdoor areas looking for these two individuals.
Or did they feel that it was just a bunch of young joyriders who messed up and were not dangerous ?
That alone could have been a statement
Please tell me I missed something ??
Even with all the construction along the I-94 corridor, there’s got to be a small plot available for this guy.
When I go get my hair cut I’m bring a pic of this ass clown and telling the stylist, if my hair cut turns out like the pic, your dead 😂
It’s pronouns are Ben-Dover.
I thought law enforcement uses the term “Tactical Vehicle Intervention” (TVI) not PIT?
No, it’s called a “PIT” maneuver….I know this to be a fact.
He appears as though he threw in the towel on
life a long time ago, due to no hope, or prospects.
Like the majority of us in this age group.

Talk about a guy who looks like he was conceived by inbreeding
Lady’s and gentlemen of the Jury, hasn’t this poor man already been inflicted with enough pain from the appearance got god gifted him. $100 says his dick is one inch max
Tell us more.
Virgin for life
These stupid Kids don’t realize the danger they put themselves in. One bad flinch or unusual movement and the 10 guns pointed at them may have gone off. Every one of those Brave Police officers put himself in situation that can turn in a moment. I’ve seen enough video when things do go wrong, happens in a second. Excellent work by Law enforcement. You can never be too careful, when dealing with drugged up kids that don’t think they have much to lose. We the audience, when we know outcome, everyone here is got balls of steel. The officers want to go home, only takes a second and you can have your life taken. NICE WORK KCS!!!
… what happened to the two that got away ??
Is this dude related to rittenhouse?
More FIBs ruining the place.
Like the Uihleins

Am I exaggerating or are these young people getting dumber by the day?
