Quoting the Barron City Police Department’s investigator and K-9 officer Nathan Emmons, the daily reported that the chase began shortly before 1am and started over a registration violation.
Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald told the daily that the chase ended in a field and a man was arrested “without incident”.
That’s when “cows came and surrounded the car,” Mr Fitzgerald said, quipping that it was a good kickoff to June Dairy Month.
