MILWAUKEE - A Milwaukee County judge sentenced Cameron Moore on Tuesday, May 5, to five years in prison plus an additional five years of extended supervision in connection with a police chase and crash that damaged a Milwaukee Public Library construction site in January 2025.
Moore pleaded guilty in March to three of the five charges against him, including vehicle operator flee/elude officer and first-degree recklessly endangering safety. The remaining two charges were dismissed and read into the court record for the purposes of sentencing.

Moore left the home and got into an SUV that afternoon. Detectives tried to pull the SUV over and, while it did briefly stop, it almost immediately took off.
About a mile into the chase, the SUV ran a red light and slammed into a car at the intersection of King Drive and Locust Street. It then careened into the library construction site.
