Woman Flees Police at 120 MPH in Minivan Packed With Stolen Goods, Then Wonders Why She Can’t Go Home

By: Rahaan Mazumder Published: October 5, 2026 – 2:00 pm Rahaan Mazumder October 5, 2026 Add MotorBiscuit as a preferred source If you are going to run an interstate organized retail theft ring, your getaway vehicle probably shouldn’t be a Dodge Grand Caravan. But for a trio of seasoned shoplifters, a dark-colored minivan was the vehicle of choice for a multi-state crime spree—until it all spectacularly unraveled on Interstate 41 in Wisconsin.

A newly resurfaced viral bodycam video from the popular YouTube channel Code Blue Cam has given the internet a front-row seat to one of the most chaotic, high-speed pursuits in recent memory. It features 120 MPH speeds, blown tires, fake identities, and a driver who genuinely seemed to think she could just post bail and go home after risking countless lives on the highway.

Here is how a nationwide retail theft empire came crashing down in Fond du Lac County.

To understand the sheer desperation of the pursuit, you have to look at the criminals inside the van. The driver, 36-year-old Jamie Blake, and her passenger, 41-year-old Eric Badore, originally from Vermont, were already highly wanted fugitives.

External police records and updates reveal that less than a month before this chase, on December 31, 2024, the duo was busted at a Walmart in St. Augustine, Florida, attempting to steal thousands of dollars in electronics. While Badore fled into the woods on foot to escape, Blake was arrested but used a fake ID to post bond and vanish into thin air.

By January 2025, the crew had reunited and taken their crime spree north. They hit a Target and a Home Depot in Wilkes-Barre Township, Pennsylvania, stealing massive hauls of Dyson vacuum cleaners and power tools. But their luck finally ran out on January 26, 2025, when a license plate reader flagged their Dodge Caravan in Wisconsin.

When Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s deputies initially pulled the van over in a Fleet Farm parking lot, the suspects clearly had no intention of going quietly.

As deputies shouted, “Driver, shut the vehicle off and throw your hands out the window… passengers, come out slowly with your hands up,” Blake slammed on the gas and fled back toward the highway.

What followed was a terrifying high-speed pursuit down I-41 Southbound. Despite driving a bulky minivan loaded with stolen merchandise, Blake pushed the vehicle to its absolute limits. Dispatch audio captured the frantic updates as multiple police agencies, including Washington County and the State Patrol, joined the hunt: “Speed’s 110 passing 28 right now 41 southbound… cruising in the left lane here speed’s 105”.

The pursuit crossed county lines, with Blake dodging heavy traffic and swerving at speeds reaching 120 MPH. Eventually, Washington County deputies successfully deployed stop sticks. The minivan’s tires shredded entirely, forcing Blake to finally pull over and surrender at gunpoint as the smell of burning rubber filled the air.

The arrests were just as chaotic as the chase. Badore attempted to give the police a fake name (“Scott Joseph”), completely unaware that deputies had already found his real wallet sitting in his seat.

A search of the vehicle uncovered the massive stash of stolen goods, including the Pennsylvania Dyson vacuums, Google Home devices, an open bottle of tequila, and multiple bags of illegal drugs, which later tested positive for THC and cocaine.

Despite having multiple out-of-state warrants, a van full of stolen goods, and having just led a 120 MPH chase, Blake was shockingly casual about her predicament in the back of the squad car.

When an officer informed her of the severity of her actions, saying, “Right now you don’t have a bail, you committed felonies by fleeing and looting, and you’re also looking at recklessly endangering safety,” Blake seemed stunned that she wasn’t going to be released.

“You said that did you say that looting is a one-year minimum, correct? So I don’t get bond tonight… I can’t get a bail? Nope,” she asked in disbelief.

The justice system was not nearly as lenient as Blake hoped. Due to the severity of the Wisconsin chase and the massive multi-state theft ring, the trio faced serious consequences.

Blake was ultimately sentenced to one year in state prison, followed by two years of extended supervision, after pleading no contest to vehicle fleeing/eluding and drug possession. Eric Badore was sentenced to 60 days in county jail, while their third passenger, Jeffrey, received four days in jail and a fine.
