Racine Christmas Eve Pursuit Ends In Two Arrests In Franklin

FRANKLIN, WI — Two men from Chicago were arrested in Franklin on Christmas Eve after they sped away from a traffic stop on Interstate 94 in Racine, according to the RCSO.

Around 3 p.m., deputies pulled over a white sedan that was traveling north on I-94 for speeding 25 mph over the 70 mph limit, RCSO said in a release. After the car pulled over, it sped off and reached approximately 120 mph, the release said.

As the car sped away from the traffic stop, it began to make dangerous maneuvers as it passed other motorists, RCSO said, and because of the high speeds and dangerous maneuvers, the pursuit was stopped.

Soon after, the car exited I-94 at Seven Mile Road, where it nearly struck another Racine County Sheriff deputy in a squad car, and then drove toward the City of Franklin. The Franklin Police Department told RSCO it found the vehicle on 8100 South 27th Street and took both occupants into custody, according to the release.

RCSO says 20 grams of marijuana was found in the vehicle and RCSO said in a release the two men have been charged with the following:

Shamir/Shamar R Mcnair, 23:

• Fleeing and eluding an officer
• Second degree recklessly endangering safety
• Resisting and obstructing an officer

Antoine L Gibson, 30:

• Possession of marijuana (repeat drug offender)
