On Thursday, July 17, 2025, at approximately 12:09 PM a Deputy with the Adams County Sheriff’s Office conducted a traffic stop near the 3100 block of CTH Z, Town of Springville, Adams County after observing it pass through the road closed signs on CTH Z between STH 82 & Fern Ave. The Deputy made contact with the female driver, who was identified from prior law enforcement contacts as Samantha S. Borck, age 30 of Adams, WI. During the traffic stop Samantha accelerated rapidly leaving the scene of the traffic stop, which occurred in the closed construction zone area of CTH Z. The Deputy returned to his squad and began to pursue the vehicle with the assistance of several other Deputies.  

During the pursuit, Deputies observed several items being thrown from the vehicle at various locations. The vehicle continued to flee law enforcement at speeds upwards of 100 mph. Tire deflation devices were deployed, but were unsuccessful. The vehicle eventually came to a stop in the 3200 block of 4th Ave when a male subject, identified as Dillon T. Sauer, age 29 of Grand Marsh, WI, exited the vehicle and was detained by law enforcement. The driver, Samantha Borck was given several commands to exit the vehicle, again refusing to comply and accelerated away from law enforcement.

The pursuit continued for several miles before the vehicle went down a dead end road, at which time the vehicle stopped. The driver, Samantha Borck and a male passenger, identified as Ryan J. Jolin, Age 22 of Friendship, WI, fled from the vehicle on foot for a short distance before they were apprehended by Deputies. The entire pursuit was approximately 43 miles in length.

K9 Tekla, K9 Ira and K9 Willy with the Juneau County Sheriff’s Office were deployed in the areas where items had been thrown from the vehicle. While searching the ditch line on CTH Z near Fern Ave, K9 Tekla alerted her handler, Sgt Orlowski, to an odor emitting from a plastic bag containing a crystalline like substance. A further search of this area was conducted and multiple plastic resealable baggies, colloquially known as “gem baggies,” containing a white crystalline substance were located. There were eight total gem baggies totaling 28.78 grams that were located and seized. These items were brought to the Sheriff’s Office for testing. The crystalline substance inside the baggies tested positive for the presumptive presence of Methamphetamine.

Ryan J. Jolin was booked into the Adams County Jail on the following charges:

Resisting or Obstructing Officer-Causing Soft Tissue Injury

Possession of Methamphetamine w/Intent to Distribute

Dillon T. Sauer was booked into the Adams County Jail on the following charge:

All three subjects had their initial appearances today in Adams County Circuit Court Branch II; Borck was given a $10,000 cash bond, Sauer a $5,000 signature bond, and Jolin a $1,000 cash bond. All three subjects remain incarcerated in the Adams County Jail at the time of this release.
