MIDDLETON, Wis. — Police arrested a man Tuesday night on a tentative felony OWI charge after he ran from officers during a traffic stop on Century Avenue at Middleton Springs Drive.
A Middleton police officer initially conducted the traffic stop because of a defective headlamp and brake lamp on the vehicle in question. During the stop, the driver, 40-year-old Bernardo Vasquez, ran from the vehicle.
Officers with the Middleton Police Department and deputies with the Dane County Sheriff’s Office set up a perimeter in the area as a Middleton K-9 unit conducted a track. Police said they found Vasquez in an area nearby.
