RIPON, Wis (WRPN)- The Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office is looking for a motorcyclist who eluded three different deputies over a 6-minute span Sunday night.

The first deputy tried to pull the biker over for speeding and a license plate violation on Interstate 41 northbound near County Highway B in the Town of Byron. The motorcyclist accelerated to 130 to 140 miles an hour during the three separate pursuits. The final pursuit was terminated near West Johnson Street in Fond du Lac.

Sheriff’s officials say the make and model of the motorcycle is unknown. The motorcyclist was wearing dark clothing, a dark-colored helmet, and a jacket with two distinct stripes running down the back.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office at 920-929-3390 or you can leave an anonymous tip by calling 920-906-4777.
