The Appleton and Grand Chute Police departments followed the stolen skid-steer as it traveled down various city streets, eventually turning onto railroad tracks, the morning of Feb. 24, 2022.

Peschke later got off the railroad tracks and into a field behind a series of homes. There, officers were able to approach, remove him from the skid-steer and arrest him.

It was Peschke's fourth OWI conviction.
