FOND DU LAC COUNTY, Wis. - Fond du Lac County sheriff's deputies arrested two women after a high-speed chase in August – newly released video showing the pursuit unfold.
The sheriff's office said 37-year-old Jasmine Williams of Milwaukee and 31-year-old Nekeyia Jones of Wauwatosa weren't just in a stolen pickup truck. Deputies found clothes and other allegedly stolen items, as well as drugs, after the chase.
"Speeds are creeping up at about 100 (mph)," a deputy said in body camera video.

It started with a tip from the Waupaca County Sheriff's Office. Fond du Lac County deputies were looking for a pickup truck reported stolen out of Illinois. The people inside were believed to be connected to a Portage County robbery.
As the pursuit stretched down I-41, a deputy stet a spike strip near Lost Arrow Road. Minutes later, the stolen truck drove over them – but kept going. The 34-mile pursuit ended with the truck stopped against a guard rail in Washington County.
