RACINE COUNTY — Two sisters – ages 17 and 42 – were arrested early Monday morning following a high-speed chase on Interstate 94 at speeds topping 100 mph.

Deputies with the Racine County Sheriff’s Department arrested the pair on Highway 11 at 2:22 a.m. after they saw the silver Jeep Compass going southbound on I-94, going 107 mph. The officers tried to stop them, but they continued, according to a press release by the Racine County Sheriff’s Department.

High-speed chase

Initiating the pursuit, the 17-year-old girl driving the Jeep weaved in and out of traffic, traveling over 100 mph. She took the Highway 11 exit ramp and stopped at the end of the exit ramp. After the high-speed chase, deputies arrested the pair and found open cans of alcohol in the front center console. They also found fresh vomit on the inside front passenger door and the front and rear passenger door/windows.
