The officer recognized the vehicle as being associated with Christopher B. Anderson (36 years old from Lake Hallie), who had an active DOC warrant. The officer activated his emergency lights and attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle. The vehicle drove into the ditch and then drove back onto the road and accelerated at a high rate of speed.
A pursuit ensued that started at 118th Street in Lake Hallie and ended on County Hwy F in Chippewa County. Throughout the pursuit, the vehicle attempted to elude officers by traveling at a high rate of speed, weaving around other vehicles, and driving on the shoulder of the road. The vehicle came to a stop and both occupants, the driver, Nakeya Hall (21 years old from Chippewa Falls) and Anderson were taken into custody with the assistance of the Wisconsin State Patrol. A vehicle search was conducted and a glass smoking device and a plastic bag containing a white powdery substance (believed to be methamphetamine) was located on the driver’s side and in Hall’s jacket.
Hall was placed under arrest for Fleeing /Eluding, Possession of methamphetamine and Possession of drug paraphernalia.
