Led police on a 25-mile chase hitting 100 mph

A car theft suspect who was just released from the Jackson County jail has been accused of immediately stealing another car. 

New York’s Andrew Bae was arrested on Tuesday, after leading a sheriff’s deputy and the state patrol on a 25-mile chase from Black River Falls, Wis., to Tomah, Wis.

Investigators say Bae swiped a car from a dealership, while an employee there was watching. 

The car reportedly got up to about 100 miles an hour and sped through work zones on I-94. 

Bae had been released from the Black River jail after an arrest last week in a car theft case out of Minneapolis, Minn.
