Tanner Crow, 19, pleaded guilty last year to three felonies and a misdemeanor. Eleven other charges were dismissed as part of a plea deal. He was later sentenced to 16 years in prison and 10 years of extended supervision.
Earlier this year, 25-year-old Andrew Hibbs Magruder was sentenced to nine years in prison and 10 years of extended supervision. He pleaded guilty to carjacking, and two other charges were dismissed.
Carjackings and police chase
The backstory:
Prosecutors said Crow and Rodriguez tried to carjack a man in the village of Waukesha in November 2023. With a gun in his face, the driver put the car in reverse and hit the gas.
Crow and Rodriguez then ran off into a waiting car with Hibbs Magruder at the wheel, according to court filings. That's when prosecutors said the three went to a Walmart on Waukesha's south side, Rodriguez pulled a shotgun on a woman, and he and Crow got into the woman's car and drove off.
That carjacking led to a 13-mile police chase that reached speeds greater than 100 mph. This time, Crow was at the wheel, prosecutors said. An assistant district attorney said a squad was struck during the chase.
