HORICON, Wis. (WFRV) – An 18-year-old Wisconsin man was taken into custody Wednesday evening after leading police on a short pursuit, crashing his vehicle into multiple parked cars, and allegedly driving under the influence.
According to the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office, deputies received a report around 4:30 p.m. of an erratic driver on State Highway 33 in Horicon.
The caller reported that the vehicle had driven onto the front lawn of a residence and into oncoming traffic multiple times while traveling between Horicon and Beaver Dam.
A deputy located the vehicle just outside Beaver Dam on State Highway 33 and attempted to initiate a traffic stop. The driver, later identified as 18-year-old Devon Hambly of Horicon, immediately fled, accelerating away from the deputy.
Hambly lost control during the pursuit, crashing into a utility power box, several signs, and multiple parked cars in the parking lot of a McDonald’s.
Deputies removed Hambly from the vehicle, noting that he was uncooperative. He was eventually taken into custody. Hambly sustained non-life-threatening injuries, and no other injuries were reported.
