KENOSHA, Wis. — A $75,000 warrant was issued Tuesday for a Kenosha man accused of leading police on a dangerous high-speed chase from Pleasant Prairie into Illinois over the weekend. Marco A. Infusino, 25, was arrested around 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, though it does not appear he made a court appearance the same day. He is likely to appear in court on Wednesday.

Infusino faces a total of nine charges in Kenosha County Circuit Court, including six felonies:
- Five counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety
- One count of fleeing or eluding an officer
- One count of hit and run to an attended vehicle
- One count of possession of cocaine
- One count of possession of drug paraphernalia
.
According to the criminal complaint, the June 28 incident began shortly after 8 p.m. when a Pleasant Prairie police officer spotted a black sedan run a stop sign near Highway 50 and 99th Avenue. When the officer tried to pull the vehicle over, the driver — later identified as Infusino — accelerated away, reaching speeds over 115 mph, weaving through traffic, and nearly causing multiple crashes.
Officers from Pleasant Prairie Police, Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office, and Zion Police joined the pursuit, which involved multiple attempts to deploy stop sticks. Infusino allegedly rammed two squad cars during the chase and crossed into oncoming traffic on Green Bay Road. Police said he showed “utter disregard for human life,” narrowly missing head-on collisions with civilian drivers.
The chase ended in Zion, Illinois, after officers boxed in Infusino’s vehicle and disabled it near the 300 block of Green Bay Road. A search of the vehicle reportedly turned up cocaine, drug paraphernalia, and a loaded Glock 19 handgun with an extended magazine. Infusino allegedly told medics on scene that he had been using crack and cocaine “all day” and admitted he fled because he “just wanted to get to Illinois.”
If convicted on all charges, Infusino faces more than 60 years in prison.

Infusino eh? I predict probation on a sweet plea deal.
If you were close to the family, you’d know that’s not what they want out of this.
Right!
More Kenosha scum
Using a motor vehicle in this way is Attempted Murder …… against every member of the public …… and the laws need to change to reflect this.
Attempted Murder – multiple.
Shut up already.
Deport him!
Marco is a well raised young man who went down a horrible dark path and now has to pay for his mistakes. Hard lessons suck and thank god nobody was hurt except the families involved. Please stop with the hate and nonsense comments and hope and pray that nobody you love ever makes a terrible mistake.
“Stop the hate comments”
That’s an extremely rich thing to say when Marco put many lives in danger. Wouldn’t you be angry if someone almost killed you with a motor vehicle? People have every right to be upset when he endangers people on the road in our city.
