A 38-year-old Antigo man is in custody in Shawano County Jail after leading authorities on a high-speed chase Friday night.
Charges are being referred to the district attorney’s office for fleeing an officer, possession of heroin, possession of meth, possession of marijuana, possession of narcotics, possession of controlled substances and operating after revocation.
The chase started in Shawano County after authorities received an anonymous tip that a man wanted by authorities in Antigo was seen at a store in Wittenberg, according to the sheriff’s report.
The man allegedly fled from an attempted traffic stop on Genesee Street shortly before 10 p.m.
The roughly 10-minute chase ended in Marathon County after the man crashed his vehicle and fled on foot. He was taken into custody about 10:20 p.m.
