MONONA, Wis. (WFRV) – A Wisconsin man was arrested on Saturday following a multi-city police pursuit, with officers recovering drugs, a gun and counterfeit cash.
According to the Monona Police Department, officers attempted a traffic stop around 12:50 p.m. on Saturday of a vehicle on West Broadway near River Place in Monona. The suspect driver, identified as 23-year-old Jalin Jones of Madison, refused to stop, causing a high-speed chase.
Multiple agencies assisted with tire deflation devices; however, Jones continued into Fitchburg, then back into Monona and Madison.
Jones’ tire was successfully deflated, but continued, losing rubber from the tires while tossing multiple drug items from the window.
Jones fled into a parking lot and jumped out of his vehicle while it was still in drive, which continued moving, striking an unoccupied vehicle, and he fled into a department store. Jones was captured inside by officers.
Officers located a firearm, marijuana and numerous counterfeit $100 bills. Jones was taken to a local emergency room for treatment before being booked into the Dane County Jail.
