Lake Hallie police were pursuing a vehicle tied to a felony theft investigation Friday afternoon when the chase headed west on Highway 312 toward Interstate 94.

Dunn County deputies used a tire-deflation device near Menomonie, and the vehicle left the roadway at the westbound I-94 rest area and became disabled in a ditch around 5 p.m.

All four occupants ran on foot, prompting an emergency alert for nearby residents to lock their homes and vehicles while deputies, Menomonie police and State Patrol searched with K-9s and drones.

The four men — ages 23 to 28, from Florida — were found in a field and taken into custody, then transferred to the Chippewa County Jail, and authorities say there is no ongoing threat.
