MILWAUKEE - A West Bend man is charged with multiple felonies after he led authorities on a pursuit and crashed on Friday afternoon, April 26.

Prosecutors in both Washington and Ozaukee counties filed charges against 25-year-old Mikael Harmon. In all, he is accused of fleeing, resisting/obstructing an officer and second-degree reckless injury.

Trenton police officers and Washington County sheriff's deputies were involved in the pursuit. Authorities requested stop sticks, a criminal complaint states, but Trenton police said the chase was called off as the fleeing car approached 5 Corners and turned west from County Highway NN onto Sate Highway 60 – entering Cedarburg's jurisdiction.
