The man allegedly sped away, but the vehicle was later pursued by the Dane County Sheriff’s Office.
Madison officers used tire spikes near Acewood Blvd at Cottage Grove Road and the vehicle came to a stop near E. Cold Spring Avenue.
Another license plate was found in the vehicle. The vehicle had been reported stolen out of the Chicago area.
