MARINETTE COUNTY, Wis. (WLUC) - UPDATE, Tuesday afternoon: Two wanted suspects by both Michigan and Wisconsin law enforcement agencies were arrested Tuesday in near Wausaukee, Wis.
According to the Marinette County Sheriff’s Office, after hearing about the wanted suspect from the Iron Mountain Police Department and the Florence County Sheriff’s Office after a police chase Monday night, deputies remained on the look out.
The Marinette County sheriff said around 11:00 a.m. a deputy spotted the suspect’s vehicle, heading south on US-141 in the Town of Beecher. There were two men inside matching the description of the men provided by Florence County.
When other assisting officers were able to get into closer range in Wausaukee, the deputies attempted to stop the vehicle, but were unsuccessful. The suspects sped up, eluding officers. Officers attempted to deflate the tires twice, but failed.
The police pursuit continued into the Town of Beaver, where the fleeing truck, traveling south, crossed into the northbound lanes, went off the road, turned around and continued north.
Deputies said in the Middle Inlet area, south of Wausaukee, a third tire deflation attempt worked.
Both suspects, 22-year-old Tyler Jon Dollar, of Portage, Wis., and 26-year-old Chandler Lee Pavlet, of Iron Mountain, were arrested and turned over to the Florence County Sheriff’s Office.
Dollar was wanted in relation to the police pursuit that happened Monday night, from Iron Mountain to Fence, Wis.
Pavlet, deputies say, had multiple warrants out for his arrest. What charges were for those warrants is unknown at the time of posting.
Both suspects may be charged by attorneys in Dickinson, Florence and Marinette counties. The chase incidents remain under investigation in the three counties.
The Marinette County Sheriff’s Office said no injuries were reported for the suspects or officers in this incident, and no patrol vehicles were damaged.
