WINNEBAGO COUNTY (NBC 26) — A man has been arrested for allegedly operating a stolen vehicle under the influence.
At 10 P.M. Sunday night, Wisconsin State Patrol received an Attempt to Locate a stolen Toyota sedan from the Wood County Sheriff’s Office. The vehicle was suspected to have been taken by 38-year-old Joshua Fuller of Vesper, Wisconsin.
Later at 11:20 P.M., a driving complaint was called in for a car that matched the Toyota’s description.
