OCONTO COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) – A 17-year-old Oconto Falls boy has been convicted on two counts tied to a November police chase.
Cody Olson has pleaded no contest to two counts of First Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety for fleeing a Howard traffic stop at speeds north of 100 miles per hour.
The Interstate 41/Highway 41 chase ended in Oconto County when Olson lost control of his vehicle and left the roadway.
When asked why he fled, officers say Olson answered with “because I am an idiot.”
Prior to Tuesday’s trial, Olson was convicted on one count of Fleeing an Officer.
He will be sentenced on the three counts July 21.
