CBS 58 GREENFIELD, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Two Milwaukee men are in custody after leading Greenfield police on a chase that ended in front of a Pick 'n Save store on Sunday, May 24.
Police say they attempted a traffic stop at 3 a.m. near West Parnell Avenue and South 27th Street for a speeding vehicle swerving lane to lane.
The vehicle then fled at a speed of approximately 60 mph before coming to a stop on its own in the southbound lanes of South 27th Street, in front of the Pick 'n Save just south of West College Avenue.
Police say after a high-risk stop was conducted the driver initially did not exit the vehicle upon command due to a language barrier but was arrested a short time later without incident.
The driver is a 32-year-old Milwaukee man, arrested for Fleeing an Officer and Operating while intoxicated.
The passenger, a 31-year-old Milwaukee man, was also arrested for resisting officers.
Charges for the driver will be referred to the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office.
