WAUWATOSA, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin ---- A pursuit through a normally quiet neighborhood in Wauwatosa was captured by dash cameras. The video showed how the wild chase played out -- starting in River Hills and ending in Wauwatosa. There were technically two separate chases involving two police departments.
The suspect, Andre Binns, 33, of Milwaukee, faces three charges:

The vehicle stopped about 20 feet from the Menomonee River, and Binns got out and ran, prosecutors said. A foot pursuit ensued, and officers were able to convince Binns to get out of the river.
