In Wisconsin, a man driving a limo led officers on a dangerous chase, as seen in a wild video.
During a chase, Bradley Semirich crashed a limo and then fled, according to police.
A video was released of a wild chase and arrest in Wisconsin where the suspect led officers on a brief pursuit in a limo before crashing and taking off on foot through a wooded area.
An officer observed a limousine driving slower than the posted speed limit at around 4 p.m. on Sept. 16, as stated on the Pleasant Prairie Police Department's Facebook page.
A registration violation led to a pursuit after the driver fled during a traffic stop, according to police.
A video depicts Bradley R. Semirich, 37, of Portage, Wisconsin, attempting to overtake southbound traffic on the shoulder but losing control and colliding into a ditch.
In the video, a limo seems to pass a school bus with its lights on.
Following the accident, Semirich escaped from the limo and was seen several blocks away in a wooded area, leading to a chase, according to police.
A search dog tracked the suspect and officers closed in on his location.
An officer reportedly spotted Semirich hiding in the woods and called for backup.
After Semirich allegedly bit the officer, a physical altercation was shown in the video between the suspect and the officer.
"Fighting less is the key to improvement," the officer shouts.
Without further incident, Semirich was taken into custody after the K-9 officer subdued him.
During the arrest, no officers were harmed, and a search of the limo uncovered methamphetamine and other items indicative of drug trafficking, according to police.
Before being sent to the Kenosha County Jail, Semirich was first evaluated at a local hospital.
Police found out that Semirich had several outstanding warrants and was a convicted felon through their investigation.
The Winthrop Harbor Police Department helped our officers apprehend the suspect. This is a testament to the exceptional work and commitment of our officers in serving our communities. Thank you to our partners for your support.
Semirich remains in custody on a $25,000 cash bond.
