The Dodge County Sheriff says a high speed chase over the weekend reached dangerous speeds in foggy conditions. A DeForest man was clocked in excess of 130 miles an hour early Sunday morning on state Highway 60 east of Columbus. Sheriff Dale Schmidt says fortunately the suspect eventually pulled over and nobody was hurt. “Very unfortunate those individuals make those decisions to flee,” Schmidt told WFDL news. “Fond du Lac County (chases) it’s about double what we’ve been doing here in Dodge County. It’s dangerous as we learned just a couple, short weeks ago when we had a pursuit that ended with an individual losing control, hitting a tree and dying, and we certainly don’t want to see any of that.” In this latest case the driver faces charges of eluding and possession of THC.
