Lt. Rob Sinden said police had previous contact with the suspect and identified him as Richard Hindes, 31.

"The tattoo was the tell-tale sign for us in identifying him," Sinden said.

Sinden said Hindes was driving a 1998 burgundy Ford F-150, which had earlier been reported stolen.

Police said they believe Hindes may have been heading toward Milwaukee or the Wisconsin Dells.
