Eau Claire Police say a man has been charged with leading state troopers on a chase that crossed roads and yards and — at times — topped 100 miles an hour.
Police say the chase began when a pickup truck passed a trooper’s car at a high rate of speed. The chase that followed crossed the backyards of at least two home before the driver jumped out of the truck as it was moving and escaped into a nearby cornfield, where he was captured. Charges that include reckless endangerment of safety and drug possession have been filed against 37-year-old Nicholas Fisher. He’s due back in court next month.
