MANITOWOC, WI (WTAQ) – Police in Manitowoc say one man has been arrested after fleeing from officers and crashing his vehicle Friday night.
It began when officers tried pulling over the 20-year-old Manitowoc man for traffic violations. He then fled northbound on Maritime Drive.
Authorities say a short chase led to the vehicle crashing into the median, which deflated all of its tires.
The suspect then tried to run, but was located hiding in a backyard by an officer and a K-9 unit.
The man, who suffered non-life threatening injuries, was jailed on charges including OWI causing injury, fleeing an officer and possession of marijuana.
Four passengers inside the suspect’s vehicle also suffered non-life threatening injuries.
