CRANDON, Wis. (WSAW) – One person is in custody after leading deputies on a high-speed chase through Forest County Tuesday morning.
An off-duty Forest County deputy contacted the Forest County Dispatch Center just after 6:30 a.m. Tuesday to report a vehicle that was traveling north on Hwy 55 at a high rate of speed, passing in a no-passing zone, with a very loud exhaust. A deputy spotted the vehicle on Hwy 55 near Cty Hwy S. That deputy turned around to catch up to the suspect’s vehicle. As they did that, the suspect sped up and continued north on Hwy 55.
A second deputy spotted the suspect’s vehicle, still speeding and with his headlights turned off. While attempting to stop the vehicle, the second deputy hit a deer, disabling their patrol car. The suspect continued to avoid law enforcement. The sheriff’s office says the suspect was going more than 110 mph while passing multiple vehicles with his headlights off. The suspect continued north on Hwy 55, then west on Hwy 8 through the city of Crandon. He continued west on Hwy 8 and stopped on the shoulder of the road near Tower Rd. He then turned around and headed east, back toward Crandon.
The suspect was eventually stopped in the parking lot of a Crandon business and arrested. He has been identified as Mason Spray of Deerbrook. He is facing multiple charges, including fleeing an officer, recklessly endangering safety, and possession of THC.
