GREENVILLE — A Hortonville man was arrested Tuesday following a hit-and-run crash that led to a foot chase near a Greenville elementary school.
According to a news release, Outagamie County deputies were sent to a report of a hit-and-run crash about 10:30 a.m. Tuesday in the area of Wisconsin Highway 76 and Wisconsin Highway 15 in the village of Greenville just northwest of Grand Chute.
One of the involved vehicles fled northbound on Highway 76 and later turned onto County Highway JJ according to the sheriff’s office.
