August 4, 2024 – Fond du Lac Co., WI -Recognize this motorcycle? Or better yet, is this you? If so, Fond du Lac County Sheriff would like to talk.

On August 3, 2024 at approximately 7:03 p.m., a Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Deputy attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a motorcycle for a speed violation on STH 175 northbound near Fox Ridge Dr in the Town of Fond du Lac.

As the Deputy attempted to catch up to the motorcycle, the suspect turned on to STH 151 and increased its speed to 130 miles per hour on STH 151 southbound. The Deputy did have his emergency lights and siren activated. The suspect utilized a median crossover on STH 151 to continue to evade the Deputy, and then continued on STH 151 northbound and exited on to Hickory St.

The suspect continued on to Hickory Rd southbound in to the Town of Byron with speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour.

The suspect was last seen on CTH B westbound approaching CTH D. The Deputy terminated the pursuit at Hickory Rd and CTH B. The pursuit lasted approximately 6 miles.

A still shot of the motorcycle from the squad car dash camera is attached with this release. The motorcycle appears to be similar to a Yamaha MT-09, black in color with red accents and red/orange rims. The operator was wearing dark clothing, a dark colored helmet, and was wearing a backpack.

It is believed this motorcycle also eluded a Deputy at CTH F and CTH W in the Town of Eden around 1:00pm today.
