BELOIT — Beloit police arrested two men Friday after a high-speed pursuit through the city ended in an industrial park area on its northeast side.
Beloit Police Lt. Christopher Eberhardt said no one was injured after officers pursued a vehicle with two male occupants that he said reached speeds of “75 or 80 mph.â€
Antwone E. Lockhart, 18, faces possible charges of felony bail jumping and being an adjudicated delinquent in possession of a firearm. He was also wanted on a warrant for burglary. Davon M. Collins, 19, was wanted on a warrant for hit-and-run and felony warrants, according to a news release from the Beloit Police Department.
The pursuit took place along parts of Milwaukee Road and Kennedy Drive on Beloit’s east side shortly after 3 p.m. Friday.
Eberhardt said Friday that Beloit police had tried to stop their vehicle because the two were being sought on active felony warrants.
Eberhardt said parts of the pursuit played out along Afton and Newark roads, and the vehicle took to Interstate 39/90 for a “short time.†Emergency radio dispatches indicated that the pursuit at one point crossed over the state line into Illinois.
Eberhardt said the vehicle occupied by the two men remained on arterial routes and at no point entered residential neighborhoods before it ended on Willowbrook Road and police took them into custody.
