The Lake Geneva Police Department was busy this past week. Venetian Fest is typically a busy week for the Lake Geneva Police Department, and this year was no different. The very first night of Venetian Fest started with a reckless driving accident near Cook and Main Street, the driver driving through red lights and into oncoming traffic. That started around 7:30 p.m. The vehicle didn’t stop and continued to flee around officers repeatedly almost hitting an officer. The use of stopsticks was necessary. A child ran from the car at that time and was taken to safety. The suspect continued to flee around the same block lost control and hit a parked vehicle at Geneva and Madison Street. The suspect was taken into custody and a second child was removed from the car and taken to safety. The suspect admitted to being under the influence of cocaine and ketamine. The suspect was identified as 39-year-old Alesha Imhoff from Edgerton Wisconsin. The two children were physically unharmed, at least physically. Imhoff suffered no injuries and was booked into the Walworth County Jail to face several charges: fleeing and eluding, reckless endangerment, OWI with passengers under 16 years old, and failure to stop. There were extra patrols put out on patrol for the event, with the help of the Walworth County Sheriff’s Department. With traffic as heavy as it was, Lake Geneva officers were on foot and on bikes at different times throughout the week.
