At Approx. 2:51 Officers receive a number of calls reference a Chevy Impala with front end damage driving recklessly downtown. It was driving the wrong way down one way streets and driving on sidewalks almost striking citizens. Per Shorewood Hills PD Chief Pharo the vehicle was possibly being operated by a known suspect, who had eluded Shorewood PD at 12:38pm (21-430683). Officers locate the Impala and deploy spikes ahead of its path on University Ave. The impala hits the spikes and continues driving for several miles with 3 spiked tires. Officers pursue after successful spike, however, the pursuit is terminated by responding Sergeant, as speeds increase while driving towards UW Hospital. The suspect then parks and flees on foot.
