WEST ALLIS -- A routine traffic stop by West Allis police led to a high-speed police pursuit and recovery of a loaded AR15 5.56 mm rifle.
A Facebook post by the West Allis Police Department says the officer recently attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a vehicle for several traffic violations near 70th and Greenfield. The vehicle failed to stop and fled from officers at a high rate of speed. Other officers were able to successfully deploy stop sticks and disable all four tires on the vehicle.
After an approximate two-mile pursuit, the disabled vehicle finally stopped and the driver was taken into custody without further incident.
