A 37-year-old man from Menasha was taken into custody after medical treatment and faces numerous charges, including fifth-offense OWI, fleeing, reckless endangering safety, bail jumping, and operating after revocation. Authorities say no one was injured, damage was minimal, and the case highlights successful multi-agency teamwork and technology removing a dangerous driver from the road.
