Armed Robbery Suspect Drives U-Haul Backwards in Attempt to Escape Police

* (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) * Omro, Wisconsin — On July 15, 2024 at around 7:18 pm the Omro Police Department assisted by the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office responded to a disturbance with a weapon in the 300 block of East Main Street. It was quickly learned that the suspects involved in this altercation had fled the scene in a vehicle prior to officers’ arrival. Upon responding to the scene, the investigation revealed that the Victim (a 65-year-old male from Omro) had placed an ad on Facebook Marketplace in order to sell a car. The suspects responded to the ad, and an altercation quickly ensued when they arrived. During this altercation, one suspect produced a firearm. During a struggle over the firearm, the Victim sustained a gunshot wound and other injuries. Once the suspects fled the scene in a vehicle, they were quickly located by law enforcement, and a multi-jurisdictional chase ensued. At 7:26pm, Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s communication center was advised that the Wisconsin State Patrol and Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office was in pursuit of a U-Haul box truck southbound on I41 south of Oshkosh. Inside the U-Haul were two suspects wanted for an armed robbery and shooting that had occurred in Omro a short time earlier. A sheriff’s deputy successfully deployed a tire deflation device at CTH N, but the vehicle continued southbound on the interstate. With a trooper and sheriff’s K9 squad now in the lead behind the suspect, they dodged tire debris coming off the rims as the flattened tires shredded apart. A North Fond du Lac police officer successfully deployed additional tire deflation devices at Winnebago Street as the suspect swerved at the squad, coming within just a couple feet of striking it while trying to avoid the stop sticks. A short time later the U-Haul was driving on nothing but rims after all tires had been flattened. The suspect vehicle traveled around the Fond du Lac police squad blocking the Johnson Street exit, and as the U-Haul turned right on Johnson Street the lead trooper successfully utilized a PIT maneuver to spin the truck out in an attempt to stop it. The suspects, however, were not surrendering. The driver put the U-Haul in reverse and attempted to back up into the intersection of Johnson Street and Rolling Meadows Drive, which was occupied by unsuspecting motorists. The K9 deputy, finding himself suddenly nose to nose with the shooting suspects and their vehicle, knew he had to end this pursuit. He first bumped the U-Haul, trying to convince them to surrender, but as the driver continued trying to navigate the intersection in reverse, the deputy did what he had to do to end this chase and pushed the suspect vehicle through the intersection, spun it sideways, and then continued pushing the U-Haul until it was disabled off the road. With a sheriff’s K9, a Fond du Lac Police K9, and many other troopers, deputies, and police officers converging on the scene, the suspects finally surrendered and were taken into custody. A loaded firearm was recovered from inside the U-Haul. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special thanks to Shout-Out Supporters on Patreon: - ’DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse’ - ’PhlyDaily’ - ’Rowdy’ - Derick McGill - Jerry Sonnal - ’Brantheman455’ - ’’ - Zak Bennett - Jeff Short - ’walleye truth2power’ - Spencer Scott - RayJayOB - Sean Sheldon - Marvin Tobar - Lee Roberts - ’Mr. Unknown’ - ’’ - ’Skydog’ - jaden - Jesse - Sabrina Bewey - Kelly Goodwin - ’Jun’ - ’Xenik’ - ’Rom’ - kyle McBurnett - ’Fishy Tuna’ - ’GotsNoGroove Cheryl’ - ’CombatKid’ - Exus Altimus - ’Dawesenm’ - Paul Rohrbaugh - ’Krazy KZ’ - Koby Bland - Christopher Payne - Zach Williams - Michael R Sheffield - Rich Biggs - ’JTrip’ - Brant Eaton - James Pringle - ’’ - ’Sopaul’ - Lisa Overly - Connor Davies - ’Necko’ - Gerardo Flores - Anthony Eufemio - ’Donkbot’ - Gage Kissinger - ’coco Coco’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Support us on Patreon: Follow us on X: - Links to the Best Dash Cams you can buy.
