A man involved in a high speed chase in Black River Falls appeared in Jackson County Court.

According to the Black River Falls Police Department, on November 24th of last year, around 9:47pm, they observed two vehicles traveling at a high rate of speed on I-94 near Black River Falls. Officers attempted to stop the vehicles, but they fled.

The pursuit lasted about 20 miles, but was stopped near Osseo due to safety concerns. The following morning, the two individuals involved, Nicholas Roberts of Beloit and Samuel Wennblom of Minnesota, turned themselves into the authorities.

During his court appearance, Roberts waived his preliminary hearing and a not guilty plea was entered to the charge against him. He’s scheduled to be back in court on June 20th.
