MADISON, Wis. — A Madison man is facing his sixth OWI charge after he fled from law enforcement during an attempted traffic stop early Tuesday morning.
A Wisconsin State Patrol trooper tried initiating a traffic stop on a green Lexus on East Broadway at Monona Drive just before 1:30 a.m. when the trooper found the car’s license plates didn’t match the vehicle.
The driver of the car, 39-year-old James Fairchild, drove off and eventually turned down a dead end road where the chase came to an end.
Fairchild was ultimately taken into custody and arrested on suspicion of sixth-offense OWI.
