Waukesha, Wisconsin — Three men are in custody after a car chase caused them to lose control and crash into the side of an apartment complex in Waukesha.
Waukesha Police said they initiated a traffic stop near Flame Park around 1:11 am on Sunday, January 15.
However, the vehicle did not stop immediately, instead attempting to evade officers, driving recklessly through neighborhoods north of E. Moreland Boulevard and south of Manhattan.
At that time, police said the vehicle had returned to Moreland Boulevard and attempted to navigate a turn on White Rock Avenue.
