A man involved in a multi-county pursuit was sentenced in Wood County Court on Friday.

Back in August, the Wood County Dispatch received a call of a vehicle pursuit involving a truck and trailer.  At this time, it was reported the truck and trailer were reported as stolen by the Pierce County Sheriff's Department.

Departments involved in the pursuit were the initiating agency, Pierce County Sheriff's Department, and assisting agencies, the Clark County Sheriff's Department, and Neillsville Police Department.

The pursuit traveled eastbound on Highway 10 heading towards the Clark/Wood County Line. In Wood County, spike strips were deployed at the county line on Highway 10, but were unsuccessful in stopping the truck and trailer.

The pursuit continued eastbound into Wood County where the vehicle crashed at Highway 10 and Klondike Drive. A male subject, identified as Timothy Adam Chambers, was taken into custody for felony fleeing.

Chambers pleaded guilty of bail jumping and resisting/failing to stop. He was sentenced to 2 years of probation and 120 days of local jail time.
