The Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate three high speed chases in the county earlier this month. Sheriff’s captain Chris Randall says he can’t remember that many high speed pursuits in such a short period of time. In one chase an 18 year old Waukesha man was arrested after the chase ended when his vehicle crashed into a cemetery at the intersection of Youth Camp Road and Highway S, striking a number of headstones in the cemetery. “I kind of see a pattern with some younger folks and they’re worried about the consequences, losing their drivers license, and we’re seeing it more frequently now,” Randall told WFDL news. Randall says the county is close to last year’s record pace of high speed pursuits with a couple months left in the year.
