FOND DU LAC, Wis. (AP) ― A Fond du Lac man didn't make a clean getaway, despite driving his auto through a car wash early Sunday while fleeing an officer.
The Fond du Lac County Sheriff's Department said a reserve officer stopped the driver in the city of Fond du Lac on suspicion of drunken driving. However, they said the driver went through a car wash at a gas station, then sped away after exiting the cash wash, nearly striking a Fond du Lac Police Department officer who had stopped to help.
The Sheriff's Department says that agency set up Stop Sticks on County Trunk OOO which eventually led to the halting of the vehicle.
The department says city and county officers then used a Taser on the 18-year-old driver to take him into custody. An 18-year-old woman in the car also was apprehended, but later released.
Hold muh beer, Babe! I’m gonna ditch ‘em at the car wash.
Oh the inanity!
So he made a clean getaway?
Not good enough for a Darwin award because he did not end up deceased...but hey I have a defense for this guy...driving under the influence of soap bubbles.
This is not the actual video of that chase, but this video is hilarious. Some old guy totally smashes up a car wash - zips through it three times!

I watched that video a couple days ago and laughed so hard, my sides hurt. That old man was extremely mad because his glasses were lost there somewhere. I wonder what the poor driver of that van thought as he was shoved suddenly out into traffic?
Don’t wash me, bro!
Don’t tase me bro!
