GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – A Green Bay man is facing multiple charges including recklessly endangering safety, marijuana possession, obstructing an officer and theft.
21-year-old Jacob K. Kubisiak is due back in court on Tuesday for a status hearing.
According to one criminal complaint, Kubisiak was behind the wheel for a crash and police chase in June 2014.
Police spotted a white vehicle speeding down W. Mason Street around 11:30 P.M. on June 17 that year. Officers pursued the vehicle, which at one point broke 119 miles per hour on Mason going past NWTC and Packerland Drive.
Cops caught up to the vehicle in the area between the Highway 41 southbound on-ramp and W. Mason Street. The vehicle had some heavy front-end damage and part of the rear was caved in about a foot. The damaged was when the vehicle lost control, ran over a median and struck a fence just south of Mason and west of Highway 41.
Two people were standing near the vehicle. Both were ordered on the ground by cops, until backup arrived to assist in the investigation. Some bystanders told officers that they saw the driver flee eastbound across Highway 41 toward Taylor Street.
The two people who were inside the vehicle said the driver, identified later as Kubisiak, said, “F@#$ this @#$%. I’m getting out of here.”
A perimeter with K-9 officers was established but proved to be unsuccessful.
A girl in the car told officers that she owned the car, but let Kubisiak drive it since he had a license and she didn’t. She also admitted that Kubisiak brought marijuana in a glass jar into the vehicle. Once the officer got permission to search the car, they found the pot which later was found to weigh 9 grams.
It’s not the first time Kubisiak has had a run-in with the law. Back in August 2013, he pawned a stolen IPOD touch for a friend who was allegedly too young to pawn items.
According to the criminal complaint, Kubisiak told investigators that he knew the IPOD was stolen, but he pawned it anyway because he would get gas money out of the deal.
Fast forward to last month, Kubisiak was jailed on charges of resisting or obstructing an officer and 2 counts of bail jumping.
If convicted on all counts, Kubisiak faces more than 13 years in prison.
