Jackson County, WI – A Black River Falls man was taken into custody Wednesday afternoon after allegedly leading Jackson County deputies on a high-speed chase along Interstate 94.
According to Cpt. Evan Mazur with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, deputies received an automated license plate reader alert at about 3:17 p.m. on October 22 for a vehicle linked to Steven Krahn, 49, who had an active felony warrant in Jackson County.
Deputies located the vehicle in the Town of Brockway and attempted a traffic stop. Authorities say Krahn allegedly refused to pull over, speeding onto I-94. Deputies performed a PIT maneuver, successfully stopping the vehicle before Krahn surrendered.
