The police chase wove through neighborhoods, and authorities said Ravel Wright was driving at least 60 mph through a Woodman's parking lot before hitting I-94.
Once on I-94 eastbound, police said the Wrights kept going. Other nearby law enforcement agencies helped by throwing spike strips onto the road – shredding the fleeing car's tires.
At Highway 175 and Bluemound in Milwaukee, without a working car, dashcam video showed the men run across three lanes of traffic.
A K-9 eventually cornered Charles Wright, police said, while Ravel Wright only stopped when three officers pointed their guns at him.
Waukesha police said the Wrights had 245 grams of marijuana and drug paraphernalia in their car. Police said they also found more than $3,000 cash.
