Authorities say on February 27 at 10:55 AM, a Sergeant with the Fond du Lac County Sheriffs Office attempted to stop a speeding driver on I-41 near Townline Road in the Township of Eldorado. Authorities believe the driver was Ronnie Johnson, and they say he had active warrants from probation and parole.As the Sergeant attempted the stop, they say Johnson sped away.The vehicle continued traveling northbound on I-41 at high speeds before exiting onto Highway 26 in Winnebago County. The suspect then proceeded eastbound on Highway 26 to the intersection with Highway 45 (Lakeshore Road). Due to the increasing traffic and ongoing high speeds, law enforcement made the decision to terminate the pursuit at that time.Subsequent to the termination, a deputy located the vehicle driving erratically on Van Dyne Road in the Township of Eldorado. Although not being pursued at the time, the vehicle's dangerous driving prompted another pursuit. The suspect continued northbound on Van Dyne Road at high speeds before turning onto County Highway N, heading eastbound.In anticipation of the vehicles movements, deputies, along with officers from the City of Fond du Lac Police Department, deployed tire deflation devices along Highway 45 (Lakeshore Drive). The suspect did indeed turn southbound on Lakeshore Drive from County Highway N but reversed direction upon observing law enforcement. The vehicle then continued northbound on Lakeshore Drive at unsafe speeds. Given the potential danger, the pursuit was once again terminated south of the City of Oshkosh.The Fond du Lac County Sheriffs Office will be filing charges of Felony Eluding and First Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety against the suspect involved in the pursuit. The pursuit spanned a total of 23.5 miles, with the initial segment covering 8 miles and the subsequent pursuit totaling 15.5 miles. The investigation into this incident is ongoing.
