Authorities are seeking to arrest a 19-year-old Menasha man, who police say fled a crash, led a pursuit and then participated in an hours-long standoff at his residence. The Menasha Police Department said the incident took place July 18 at about 12:16 p.m. following a crash with injuries in Fox Crossing in the 1100 block of Appleton Road. Witnesses said a vehicle fled the scene of the crash and it was later being reported to authorities that the vehicle was driving recklessly in the city of Menasha, according to police. Officers located the vehicle and a pursuit ensued, ending when the man drove to his residence in the 300 block of Naymut Street in Menasha, police said. The man exited the vehicle and entered his apartment before telling officers through the door that he was the driver who fled the scene of the crash, but would be refusing to exit the apartment, according the police. Police said negotiations went on for several hours and authorities were able to positively identify the man, but the risk of forced entry was too high in order to protect the safety of the people inside the apartment, which included a young child.
