Police chase, arrest
The backstory:
It happened on Sunday, Dec. 21. Milwaukee police officers were on patrol near 12th and Scott when court filings said they saw "known narcotics users" next to a white Lincoln SUV. The Lincoln also did not have a front license plate or bumper.
When the officers tried to conduct a traffic stop, a criminal complaint said the driver, Taylor, sped away at roughly 50 mph in the 25 mph zone. That sparked a chase on the city's south side.

Prosecutors said Taylor reached speeds greater than 70 mph, running multiple stop signs and red lights, and at times drove into oncoming traffic. The chase ended when the Lincoln crashed into a snow bank and tree branches.
Officers then arrested Taylor. The complaint said there were two other people in the SUV, including a 3-year-old child. A gun was found inside the vehicle.
