West Allis Police Chase, accused driver scored 120 miles per hour: video

A man from Milwaukee is accused of having led to a wild chase at the beginning of this year – and everything was recorded on video.

The public prosecutor said that the accused driver, the 28-year-old Romello Richards, had driven red light and stop signs, drove on the wrong side of the street and reached at least 120 miles per hour when he tried to get away.

Shortly after 2 a.m. on March 29, the police moved a red Nissan Altima with a fleet license plate near the 60th and Scott. It was a car that the police had broken out.

Hours before the chase, the prosecutors said that two men in ski gasks were out of the car and went to a bar. When the dispatchers ran the plates, they didn't agree to the car. Officers placed stop sticks underneath.
