A Green Bay man is facing charges in Fond du Lac County after a standoff with police.
The incident began just after 6:30 PM on Tuesday when a Sheriff’s Deputy attempted to stop a speeding vehicle on Highway 151 near State Highway 23. The vehicle was reportedly traveling at speeds of up to 90 miles per hour, and wouldn’t stop.
The chase continued into the City of Fond du Lac, and saw the 34-year-old male driver attempt to hit squad cars. He was eventually stopped with a PIT maneuver, causing the vehicle to slide into the east ditch on Highway 175 in Dodge County.
The male driver was reportedly holding what was described as a “large butcher knife” as well as a baby, with a female passenger also in the vehicle. The stand-off continued until around 10:15 PM, when the driver exited the vehicle and was taken into custody.
Charges are being forwarded to the District Attorney’s Office.
