-A Wisconsin Dells man arrested after a high speed chase in Jackson County appeared in court on Monday.According to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department, back in June, a deputy tried to pull a vehicle over on N. 5th Street in Black River Falls for a minor traffic violation. However, when he activated his lights, the vehicle sped away. The pursuit continued onto I-94 and reached speeds of 110 mph. The driver lost control of the vehicle and a crash occurred. Both occupants jumped out of the vehicle and a foot pursuit began. They were apprehended a short while later. Dakota Funmaker, the driver, was arrested for OWI, obstructing an officer and felony fleeing and Jordan Funmaker, the passenger, was arrested for obstructing an officer.
During his court appearance, Jordan Funmaker agreed to enter a plea to the charge against him and enter into a post-plea diversion agreement. The court agreed to this, so Funmaker entered a guilty plea to the charge against him. The court adopted the post-plea diversion agreement and withheld the findings.
