MARQUETTE COUNTY, MI-- A Wisconsin man was tased by Marquette County Sheriff’s deputies after he fled from a traffic stop.
Saturday around 12:05 a.m. a deputy attempted to stop a Toyota Highlander for a traffic violation on County Road 550 and Sugarloaf Mountain. The vehicle initially stopped, but then led police on a chase northward.
The chase ended at the entrance to Wetmore Pond. Deputies boxed the suspect’s vehicle in with patrol cars as the 37-year-old driver backed up and tried moving forward again. When he refused to turn off and exit the vehicle deputies deployed a taser and removed him.
The suspect is charged with fleeing and eluding, resisting and obstructing, operating while intoxicated, and driving with a revoked license. He remains lodged in the Marquette County Jail.
