The Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office released video showing a high-speed pursuit, cornfield search and arrest of a wanted 40-year-old man Aug. 17, 2026. A wanted Wisconsin man led deputies on a 12-mile high-speed chase before bailing from a moving car and vanishing into a cornfield, sparking a five-hour manhunt that ended with a K-9 and drone-assisted takedown. According to the Fond du Lac County Sheriff's Office in Wisconsin, the high-speed case began at 2:26 p.m. Aug. 17, when authorities were told that the 40-year-old suspect had fled from the City of Fond du Lac Police Department. A deputy spotted the vehicle traveling south on Highway 175 near Highway 151 and attempted to stop it using lights and sirens, the sheriff’s office said. The driver refused to stop and accelerated at a high rate of speed. SEE IT: DASHCAM SHOWS FLORIDA TROOPER CHASING
