An arrest warrant has been filed for the suspect in a domestic violence incident in Neopit last month who subsequently led authorities on a high-speed chase through Shawano County and into Brown County.
David R. Teller, 26, of Neopit, was charged in Shawano-Menominee County Circuit Court on Wednesday with a felony count of attempting to flee from an officer in a vehicle. He could face a maximum 3½ years in prison and a $10,000 fine if convicted.
Menominee Tribal Police alerted Shawano County authorities Oct. 13 that Teller left the scene of a domestic incident and was headed southbound on state Highway 47-55.
He was later spotted by Shawano County sheriff’s deputies on state Highway 29 and fled from an attempted traffic stop, according to authorities. The ensuing 14-mile chase reached speeds upward of 100 mph.
The pursuit entered Brown County, continuing onto southbound U.S. Highway 41 and then onto West Mason Street in Green Bay. The car was found abandoned in an apartment parking lot on Badger Street on Green Bay’s west side.
Brown County deputies and Green Bay police officers assisted the Shawano County deputy at the apartment complex but couldn’t find the suspect, according to the Sheriff’s Department.
