>>Madison Traffic Stop Leads to Short Chase, Fugitive Arrest (Madison, WI)  —  A Madison man wanted on multiple felony warrants is in custody after a short vehicle chase on Highway 30.  A Dane County sheriff’s deputy attempted to pull over 42-year-old Jerome Wheeler Thursday night, but he refused to stop and led the squad car on a slow speed pursuit for three-and-a-half miles.  Wheeler eventually stopped at a red light and was arrested on warrants for domestic substantial battery, domestic disorderly conduct, theft and bail jumping.  There must have been drugs in the car because deputies say he’s now facing charges of eluding, resisting, possession of methamphetamine and T-H-C.  Wheeler

  (Baraboo, WI)  —  A former substitute teacher in the Baraboo School District has invented a gunshot alarm system which would alert people in a building to the sound of gunfire, while simultaneously notifying emergency responders.  The concept is similar to a standard fire alarm.  Sensors set off the alarm when they detect and confirm the sound of a gunshot.  Those sensors help emergency responders by pinpointing the exact location of the sound.  Stacy Jax started working on her idea after the deadly 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.  The Trinity Gunshot Alarm System was tested last week at an indoor shooting range.
