VIROQUA, Wis (CIVIC MEDIA) – The Viroqua Police Department is searching for a man who eluded officers in a high speed chase. Viroqua Police Officers were called to a parking lot in the city for a male party with a warrant.

As officers arrived on scene, the suspect and a passenger got in their vehicle and started to speed away nearly striking a Viroqua officer with the vehicle. A male passenger, Jesse Devlaeminck from Rochester, MN exited the vehicle on the north side of Viroqua and was taken into custody on multiple warrants after a short search by Viroqua officers.
