A 33-year-old Fort Atkinson man is under arrest after showing up drunk at a random house and then fleeing from sheriff’s deputies at speeds of over 100 miles per hour.

The Rock County Sheriff’s Office says deputies were first dispatched to a home on the 7000 block of East Lima Johnson Townline Road just before 11:30 Thursday night on the report that an intoxicated man was knocking on the door and asking if the residents knew where he lived.

A deputy located the suspect vehicle nearby and found the driver, 33-year-old Philip Luebke passed out behind the wheel. He eventually woke up, refused to obey commands, and fled at speeds of up to 105 miles per hour.

Eventually Luebke stopped his truck and exited the vehicle at which point deputies tased him and took him into custody.
