Police Pursue Suspect 120 mph Through St. Croix County; Arrest Him on a Garage Roof in Minnesota

ST CROIX COUNTY, WI -- A 26-year-old Hudson man led authorities on a high-speed chase through several towns only to be arrested on the roof of a garage.

Tanner J. Marion, 26, of Hudson, faces multiple charges after he was ultimately arrested in Washington County at the end of a high-speed car chase and a short foot pursuit.

He faces charges of 2nd-degree recklessly endangering safety, fleeing an officer and bail jumping. He faces up to six-and-a-half years behind bars based on the incident, according to court records online.

Records further indicate Marion was arrested on the 100 block of Rivercrest Rd. just before 10 p.m. on Jan. 5.

The Incident

According to the St. Croix County Sheriff's Office, police responded to a report of a speeder on I-94 near the Village of Roberts.

According to a report from the Hudson Star Observer, a Sheriff's deputy observed the car matching the description of a hit-and-run accident traveling between 80-90 miles per hour north on Highway 65.

He sped up to 120 miles per hour as he fled, according to authorities. At that point, police broke off the pursuit out of safety concerns.

After a police chase that resumed on the interstate, Marion was forced to abandon his heavily-damaged vehicle and flee on foot.

The Star Observer reported that Marion was found on the roof of a house about a quarter-mile from where he abandoned his car.
