CHEYENNE,Wyo.— The Cheyenne Police Department was involved in a vehicle pursuit after responding to a stalking case at 1930 Pershing Pointe at 1:30 p.m. yesterday.
Officers responded to the area after receiving a report that Joseph Mladenik, 40, of Cheyenne, was in the area making threats.
Officers found Mladenik leaving the scene in a gray Ford Explorer and attempted to stop him. Mladenik did not stop and led police in a vehicle chase onto I-80 where the Wyoming Highway Patrol took over. The pursuit was taken over by Nebraska Highway Patrol after Mladenik crossed the state line. The pursuit eventually ended near Potter, Neb.
