Fleeing Wisconsin driver gets airborne and jumps car over another car during high-speed chase
Footage from a high-speed chase in Wisconsin earlier this month shows the fleeing driver going airborne and jumping his car over another. We're talking full 'Dukes of Hazzard' style.
It's one of the most insane dashcam videos you'll ever see. The Fond du Lac County Sheriff's Office released the now-viral footage of the arrest, which took place on Saturday morning, May 9.
FOX 6 reports that the Wisconsin State Patrol stopped a car, then called for backup because of an active felony warrant. As a Fond du Lac County sheriff's deputy and another trooper arrived, the driver took off.

A high-speed pursuit began and eventually came to an end when the driver lost control, went into a ditch, then up the embankment. This is where the car flies over another car.
The fleeing driver's car not only flew over the other car, it went all the way over the road and ended up in a field on the other side.
Remarkably, Dewayne Stokes, 44, identified by police as the driver, wasn’t ready to give up. He got out of the vehicle and had to be Tased before being taken into custody.
The pursuit had come to an end after four and a half miles, a tiny bit of which was covered through the air. Stokes was then taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
He was charged with seven counts, including first-degree reckless endangering safety and two counts of eluding an officer. His cash bond was set at $25,000, and he's due back in court on June 24, according to court documents.
Stokes was out on bond at the time of his car flight for operating a vehicle without the owner's consent, FOX 6 added. He had a warrant issued for his arrest after he failed to appear in court. He didn’t know it at the time, how could he have, but that decision was going to put him on a path to fly a car over another car.
Everything happens for a reason.

Mets pitcher Clay Holmes suffers broken leg after getting hit with 111 mph line drive: 'A huge blow'
The New York Mets starting rotation took a major blow on Friday night.
Starting pitcher Clay Holmes broke his right leg after getting smoked by an 111 mph line drive by New York Yankees designated hitter Spencer Jones in the Mets’ 5-2 loss at Citi Field.
In the top of the fourth inning, with the Mets down 3-0, Jones ripped Holmes’ 94 mph sinker right back at him. The ball ricocheted off Holmes’ leg into foul territory on the first-base side. The 33-year-old pitcher jogged to first base and then was checked on by trainers and manager Carlos Mendoza.

Holmes remained in the game despite the fracture. His next six pitches were balls, but Holmes then got consecutive strikeouts and retired Aaron Judge on a fly ball with the bases loaded to finish a scoreless inning.
Holmes was lifted following a one-out walk in the fifth. He threw 95 pitches, including 26 while facing seven batters after getting hit by Jones' line drive.
"He said he was fine. That’s the crazy part. We went out, checked him out, threw a couple pitches, was able to finish the inning," Mendoza said. "Comes back in and he didn’t even give me a chance. He said, ‘I’m good to go back out,’ and he goes back out there. Sent him for X-rays and this is what we’re dealing with now."
Mendoza said those X-rays showed a fractured right fibula that will sideline Holmes "for a long time."

"That’s the hard part to understand. He was fine, we checked him, finished the inning, he goes back out because he feels good. And then the last pitch, something didn’t look right. He came out, I’m talking to him in the dugout, he’s like, yeah, something didn’t feel right," Mendoza said.
Holmes had been one of the lone bright spots in what has otherwise been a dismal season for the Mets. In nine starts, he has a 2.39 ERA with 45 strikeouts in 52 2/3 innings.
Holmes (4-4) was charged with four runs and seven hits over 4 1/3 innings in the loss, striking out eight and walking two. He entered Friday third in the National League with a 1.86 ERA.
The Mets starter signed a three-year, $38 million contract with the team as a free agent in the 2025 offseason. Holmes was a reliever with the Yankees, and the Mets converted him into a starter, where he has been dependable.
"It’s a huge blow. He’s been one of our most consistent guys that we have in our rotation," Mendoza said.
Jones, who trains with Holmes in Nashville during the offseason, said the news is tough to hear.
"It’s tough to hear," Jones said. "I hit the ball and then I saw it come back towards me. It sounded loud."
"He’s a tough guy. Workhorse. Competitor. Says a lot about who he is to go back out there again the next inning with a broken leg. It’s incredible."
The loss dropped the Mets to 18-26. They sit in last place in the National League East and are 12.5 games back of the red-hot Atlanta Braves (31-14) for first place in the division.
The Mets will look to bounce back against the Yankees (28-17) on Saturday at 7:15 p.m. ET in the second game of the Subway Series.

Conservatives targeted overwhelmingly for ‘Saturday Night Live’s’ political jabs, analysis finds
A whopping 91% of "Saturday Night Live" jokes targeted conservatives this season, according to a new analysis by Media Research Center’s NewsBusters, and President Donald Trump remained the show’s favorite punching bag.
According to the analysis, provided exclusively to the New York Post, "Weekend Update" delivered 205 jokes aimed at conservatives compared to just 18 targeting liberals and three nonpartisan jabs during the season’s first 19 episodes.
Trump alone accounted for more than 100 punchlines, nearly half of those assessed, while conservative figures dominated the show’s cold opens at a far higher rate than their left-leaning counterparts.
More specifically, 49 Republican-centered portrayals overshadowed the 10 Democratic-focused portrayals and one nonpartisan-focused portrayal identified in the analysis.
LATE-NIGHT TV, SNL'S BORING ANTI-TRUMP SCOLD ROUTINES GO UNHEEDED: ‘WELL, F---! IT HAPPENED AGAIN’
Jokes taking aim at the president were made in addition to more than a dozen Trump portrayals from James Austin Johnson during this season's cold opens, the Post wrote, followed in quantity by War Secretary Pete Hegseth, former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s characters.
Fox News Digital reached out to NBC for comment but did not immediately hear back.
As far as "Weekend Update" jokes are concerned, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. trailed the president in second place, followed by Noem.
The Post highlighted how New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was targeted only once by "Weekend Update," while tying the analysis to a broader critique of the anti-Trump sentiment of late-night television.
When reached for comment, NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck told Fox News Digital, "For liberals who might be fearful they won't be able to receive their far-left 'comedy' fix once Stephen Colbert's 'Late Show' goes dark, look no further than 'SNL.' … Whether it's celebrity appearances or incendiary rhetoric masquerading as satire, 'SNL' will scratch that itch."
Houck added, "These networks are largely unapologetic in the fact that they do not represent all Americans. It's about using their supposed power to bend the public to their worldview."
DAVID LETTERMAN CALLS OUT CBS' 'PURE COWARDICE' FOR CANCELING 'THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT'
NewsBusters has called out the late-night comedy show with previous assessments of partisan leanings, including one article last October emphasizing that 82% of the prior season's jokes targeted conservatives or Republicans.

Harvey Weinstein rape trial ends in mistrial after jury deadlocked
The judge in Harvey Weinstein's rape retrial declared a mistrial on Friday.
While the former Hollywood mogul has been convicted of other sex crimes on two U.S. coasts and remains behind bars, the mistrial leaves the New York rape charge in limbo after three trials.
The jury deadlocked after deliberating on whether Weinstein raped Jessica Mann in 2013.
"After hearing the testimony three separate times, and after two different juries were unable to reach a unanimous decision, maybe it’s time for the District Attorney to stop retrying the same case and focus resources on the actual crimes impacting New Yorkers every day," a spokesperson for Weinstein told Fox News Digital.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

Cartel creep among 25 illegal immigrants caught turning scenic forests into lawless hideouts, police say
A sweeping multi-agency crackdown in northeast Georgia forest lands ended with the arrest of 25 illegal immigrants, including felons and an alleged cartel member, after authorities launched a dayslong operation that uncovered drugs, fugitives and suspects hiding in remote wooded areas.
The operation, dubbed "Southern Forest Trident," was carried out between May 1 and May 6 across parts of Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina by the U.S. Forest Service Law Enforcement and Investigations division alongside federal, state and local law enforcement agencies.
In Stephens County, Georgia, authorities conducted checkpoints and aggressive patrols on remote roads surrounding forest service lands in an effort to intercept fugitives, drug traffickers and individuals living in the country illegally.
The operation brought together officers and investigators from the U.S. Forest Service, Stephens County Sheriff’s Office, Georgia State Patrol, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Department of Homeland Security and the FBI North Georgia Major Offenders Task Force.
FEDERAL AGENTS ARREST HUNDREDS AT HYUNDAI PLANT CONSTRUCTION SITE IN GEORGIA
DHS arrested 25 illegal immigrants in Stephens County, including 14 with prior felony convictions, officials said. Authorities also identified one suspect as a confirmed cartel member.
One of the most dramatic moments of the operation unfolded Tuesday afternoon when two individuals bailed from a traffic stop on Highway 365 near Rock Road and fled into wooded terrain, the Stephens County Sheriff's Office said.
Law enforcement launched a large-scale manhunt involving multiple agencies and K-9 units, including U.S. Forest Service K-9 teams, Habersham County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Bane and Stephens County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Taz.

Hours later, officers captured one of the suspects near Trestle Ridge Road.
Authorities identified the man as 31-year-old Minton Carreto, who officials said was wanted in the metro Atlanta area and illegally residing in the United States. The second suspect remains at large and is believed to have escaped the area entirely.
Investigators also made multiple drug arrests during traffic stops throughout the operation, including suspects accused of possessing methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana and oxycodone.

Authorities said Victor Pena, 42, of Cornelia, and Kristen Sloan, 33, of Maysville, were arrested after deputies allegedly discovered methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia during a traffic stop.
Mark Justice, 48, of Eastanollee, and Rebecca Wood, 30, of Toccoa, were also arrested after officers allegedly uncovered methamphetamine, marijuana and a glass smoking pipe inside a vehicle. Justice was additionally wanted on an outstanding Stephens County warrant, authorities said.
Investigators also arrested Dakoda Ponder, 29, of Toccoa, after deputies allegedly found cocaine and a suspected oxycodone pill during a traffic stop before he was additionally charged with DUI.
Another arrest during the operation involved Christian Villagomez, 29, of Clarkesville, who authorities said was taken into custody on outstanding fishing violation warrants.
By the end of the operation, the U.S. Forest Service had issued 33 federal citations ranging from traffic offenses to drug violations, and Georgia State Patrol issued 58 warnings and 36 traffic citations, while Georgia DNR officers handed out multiple hunting and fishing citations, according to the sheriff's office.
Stephens County Sheriff Rusty Fulbright praised the coordinated operation and warned that isolated forest regions can become hot spots for criminal activity if left unchecked.
"Many of these areas aren’t frequently patrolled in most counties, and crime can go unnoticed," Fulbright said in a statement. "This behavior affects our families, as well as our social and physical environments."
Fulbright said authorities remain committed to aggressive criminal interdiction efforts in rural northeast Georgia.
"We are proud to work with our federal and state partners to curb the flow of illegal drugs and other crime in Stephens County," he said. "We are working to create a safer, stronger Stephens."
