Teacher at Kaukauna Catholic school accused of child sex crimes now facing 30 charges, pleads not guilty According to a release, when the deputy tried to initiate a traffic stop, the vehicle continued to flee at a high rate of speed, traveling eastbound on I-90/I-94. A few miles later, another deputy with Columbia County successfully deployed a tire deflation device, causing the vehicle's two front tires to go flat. The driver, later identified as 21-year-old Luis Toledo of Monroe, continued eastbound at speeds of over 100 mph. Shortly after, Toledo was pulled over in Dane County. Both Toledo and a passenger of his were taken into custody without further incident after authorities reportedly observed signs of alcohol impairment on Toledo. County Sheriff in Wisconsin mourns loss of retired K9 who responded to over 1,000 calls in 7 years Toledo was taken to the Columbia County Jail and the following charges: Felony bail jumping Fleeing/Eluding OWI – 2nd Offense 2nd Degree Reckless Endangering Safety Violation of Probation 'Thankfully, no one was injured from the dangerous decision made to flee the deputy while impaired,' said Lieutenant Jordan Haueter. 'This is another example of why the Sheriff's Office makes locating impaired drivers and holding them accountable for their poor decision to operate a motor vehicle while impaired a priority.'
