He refused to respond to law enforcement, then escaped by running toward the water plant. He left behind the passenger, who was the registered owner of the car, and she was warned not to drive her Galant until the broken window was replaced. *A white 1987 Mercedes 190D with Wisconsin license plates was snowed in at Eight Dollar Mountain on Jan. 9.
