Just after 12:30 a.m., an Oshkosh Police officer found the suspect in a vehicle along the 300 block of North Westhaven Drive. As the officer attempted to
make contact with him, the suspect exited the vehicle and started to run.
A perimeter was immediately set up, and Officers from the Oshkosh Police Department, Officers from Omro Police Department, and Deputies from the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office assisted in searching for this suspect.
