Heroin Arrest/Escape/Pursuit/Canine Arrest
On February 12th, 2018, at approximately 10:00 p.m. members of the Adams and Marquette County Sheriff’s Office conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle being operated by Levi R Hedding (27) of Coloma. The stop occurred in the 2800 block of STH 13 in Adams County. Hedding had active warrants for his arrest and was suspected of trafficking heroin to the area. Hedding initially lied to deputies about his name and attempted to flee on foot before being taken into custody.
While deputies were processing evidence at the scene Hedding escaped through the rear window of an Adams County squad car. Hedding then entered a Marquette County squad and fled the scene. An 18 mile pursuit ensued involving several members of law enforcement from surrounding areas/agencies. Hedding’s stolen squad eventually entered a ditch striking a tree on CTH EE near 2nd Ave in Adams County. Hedding again attempted to flee on foot. Hedding was apprehended by a Marquette County canine and deputies from both agencies. Hedding was transported to Moundview Hospital for injuries received from the canine arrest. Hedding is currently in custody.
The ensuing investigation resulted in the following charges being requested with the Adams County District Attorney’s Office: Possession of Heroin with Intent to Deliver, Escape, Operate Vehicle Without Owner’s Consent, Operating with a Restricted Controlled Substance, Reckless Driving, Obstructing/Resisting an Officer, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Operate Without a Valid Driver’s License, Felony Fleeing and Felony Bail Jumping.
The Adams County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Central Wisconsin Drug Task Force, Wisconsin State Patrol, City of Adams Police Department and the Marquette County Sheriff’s Office.
No further information is being released at this time.
