Stolen Semi Barrels into Juneau County
A semi-truck was reported stolen from a local business at approximately 2 p.m. on August 25, 2023. The semi-truck owner tracked the location by GPS and informed law enforcement of the stolen vehicle. A pursuit was initiated on I-94 eastbound at milepost 135 in Jackson County.
