KENOSHA COUNTY, Wis. - The Kenosha County Sheriff's Department seized a "large amount" of narcotics and a gun after two people ran off from a traffic stop Saturday, Aug. 5.
Officials said a deputy and his K-9 partner stopped a vehicle on I-94 by Highway KR around 4:30 p.m. Two men were in the vehicle, and the deputy asked them to step out of the vehicle. One deputy took their IDs to his squad car when the two men took off running along I-94.
Officials said the men initially ran east, off of I-94, but shortly after, were spotted running west across all eight lanes of I-94 towards Apple Holler.
