MARINETTE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Bond has been set for two people accused in a burglary and chase that included a weekend manhunt in Marinette County.
Chad Setunsky was ordered held on a $1 million cash bond, and Ashley Niewierowski’s bond was set at $250,000.
Both face felony counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety, fleeing an officer, and burglary, as well as misdemeanor counts of theft and criminal damage to property.
Prosecutors said in court Tuesday that they expected to file more charges later.
Investigators say the ordeal started as a burglary of an ATM from a convenience store in Stephenson early Saturday morning.
As Setunsky and Niewierowski, his girlfriend, sped away from the Corner Convenience store, prosecutors say Setunsky fired a gun at deputies chasing the pickup truck.
He crashed the truck into a pole and the two ran off into the woods.
They were arrested separately on Sunday, after a search of more than 24 hours.
The judge cited the evidence against Setunsky and his criminal history in setting a higher bond for him.
Online court records indicate the 27-year-old was convicted of endangering safety by the reckless use of a firearm in 2007, and being a felon in possession of a firearm in 2013.
Both are set to return to court on Monday.
