It began with a stop sign. It ended with a driver in handcuffs on the Illinois side of the state line, a loaded Glock on the seat, and bags of white powder that later tested positive for cocaine. Between those two points was a 13-mile chase that peaked near 117 miles per hour, two damaged squad cars, and a question that still follows the viral video: did the suspect get away?

He did not.

## A Routine Stop That Never Happened

Shortly after 8 p.m. on June 28, 2025, a Pleasant Prairie Police officer in Kenosha County, Wisconsin, spotted a black Honda Civic with tinted windows run a stop sign near Highway 50 and 99th Avenue. The driver then made a left turn without signaling. When the officer tried to pull the car over, it accelerated instead of stopping.

What should have been a traffic citation became a multi-agency pursuit. Pleasant Prairie officers were joined by the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office, Zion Police, and other departments as the Civic raced south. Radio traffic captured speeds climbing through the 90s and past 100. Later compilations of the dashcam footage labeled the peak at 117 mph. Officers reported light traffic at some stretches and near-misses with civilian vehicles at others, including close calls with trucks as the driver weaved between lanes.

Police tried more than once to deflate the tires. The first attempts failed. A later effort, combined with a PIT maneuver and a box-in against a guardrail, finally stopped the car on Green Bay Road in Zion, Illinois — just beyond the Wisconsin border. During the chase, officers said the Civic struck two squad cars. One transmission made the stakes plain: “Intentional contact. Two squads have been hit. We need to end this.”

Pleasant Prairie Police later posted a line that became a caption for the whole night: “Illinois isn’t an escape route — it’s just more road.”

## What Was in the Car

The driver was identified as Marco A. Infusino, 25, of Kenosha. Officers ordered him out at gunpoint. He said he was alone. A search of the Civic recovered two glass smoking devices with white residue, bags containing a white rocky substance and white powder, and a Glock 19 fitted with a laser sight and an extended magazine loaded with one 9mm round. Field tests on the powder and rock came back positive for cocaine.

On scene, Infusino allegedly told medics he had been using crack and cocaine “all day,” including shortly before leaving a Target store. In circulating video, he discusses the drugs in a flat, almost casual tone. One officer, still reacting to the collisions with police cars, told him he would face attempted homicide charges. Those specific counts do not appear in the criminal complaint that followed. The gap between the heat of the arrest and the paper filed in court is one reason the footage keeps drawing viewers.

Infusino was taken to a hospital in Zion, medically cleared, and later booked.

## Yes, He Was Arrested

The short answer to the title is yes. Infusino was arrested at the end of the chase. He was not allowed to drive off. He was not released at the scene.

Kenosha County jail records show Marco Antonio Infusino booked on July 1, 2025, on charges that included fleeing or eluding an officer, first-degree recklessly endangering safety, hit and run, possession of cocaine, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Local court coverage described nine charges in all, including six felonies: five counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety and one count of fleeing or eluding, plus misdemeanors for hit and run, cocaine possession, and possession of paraphernalia. Some reports also listed OWI and municipal traffic citations.

A court commissioner first signed a $75,000 arrest warrant, then set cash bail at $50,000. Eight days later, over objections from the district attorney’s office, bail was cut to $15,000. Infusino posted that amount on July 11, 2025, and was released pending trial. Reporting at the time said he entered inpatient drug treatment, with a pretrial date set for December 15, 2025. He entered a plea of not guilty. He remains presumed innocent unless a court finds otherwise.

Public news coverage through late 2025 confirms the arrest, the charges, and the release on reduced bond. A widely reported final verdict was not available in open sources as of September 2026.

## Why the Footage Still Circulates

Dashcam and bodycam video released by Pleasant Prairie Police, later packaged by channels such as Midwest Safety, turned a local pursuit into a clip with millions of views. Audiences linger on the speed, the ramming of squad cars, the driver’s calm confession, and the officer who predicted homicide charges that never appeared on the charging document.

The chase looks cinematic. The case file is more ordinary. Infusino did not outrun the police. He was boxed in, ordered out, searched, hospitalized, charged with multiple felonies, jailed, and then released after posting $15,000 cash bail while the case moved forward.

Crossing into Illinois did not erase the stop sign. It only added another town to the police radio.
