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.
