GLENDALE, Wis. — A reckless driver evaded police before officers deployed stop sticks, forcing the suspect to crash along Port Washington Road in Glendale Friday morning.
According to an email from the Glendale Police Department, officers received a report of a reckless driver around 11:40 a.m. near Port Washington and Silver Spring. Officers found that vehicle in the Bayshore Mall parking structure.
The driver of the vehicle tried to get away from police. Officers deployed 'stop stick' tire shredding devices along the road, forcing the suspect into a crash along Port Washington Road.
Officers then took everyone in the car into custody.

Criminal charges will be referred to the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office in the upcoming days.
