SOUTH MILWAUKEE -- Police in South Milwaukee have arrested the suspect who is accused of recklessly endangering safety and fleeing police on Saturday, March 31. According to police, he intentionally merged the wrong way into traffic, endangering innocent lives.
It all began with a call regarding an impaired driver. The images you see just below were captured near Chicago and College Ave.
