The Winnebago County Sheriff's Office soon received reports that the fleeing vehicle was driving recklessly in Menasha. Officers located the vehicle near Third and Racine streets and attempted to stop it near the south end of the Racine Street Bridge.
The vehicle eventually stopped in a driveway in the 300 block of Naymut Street. The driver exited the vehicle and fled on foot into a residence.
Officers made verbal contact with a male inside the home, who admitted to driving the vehicle but refused to exit. After several hours of negotiations, the man continued to refuse to leave. During the standoff, officers confirmed the driver's identity as a 19-year-old Menasha man.
Police learned there were other individuals inside the residence, including a young child. To protect their safety, officers decided against forcibly entering the home.

Both departments thanked community members who provided critical information leading to the vehicle's location and identification.
