COMPLAINT: Shawano County campground owner charged with felonies in high speed chase

SHAWANO COUNTY, Wis. (WBAY) - The owner of a campground in Shawano County nearly hit two law enforcement officers during a chase earlier this month.

Ann M. Retzlaff, 52, is charged with Attempting to Flee or Elude an Officer, two counts of 2nd Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety, and Obstructing an Officer.

A criminal complaint obtained by Action 2 News details the events of May 15. A Shawano County deputy heard that the Menominee County Sheriff’s Office was involved in a high speed chase with a vehicle registered to Retzlaff. They had tried to stop her for failure to stop at a stop light.

Retzlaff crossed into Shawano County on Highway 47. Four squads pursued her. They deployed stop spikes at County MMM and Peach Road. All four of Retzlaff’s tires hit the spikes, according to the complaint. She continued driving and hit another set of spikes at County MMM and Highway 29. She continued driving.

Retzlaff’s tires were flat and she stopped on Highway 29 west. Deputies approached the vehicle for a high risk stop.

One deputy gave orders for Retzlaff to get out of the vehicle, but she did not comply. A lieutenant who knows Retzlaff positioned himself near her door to speak with her. He informed her that she had to get out of the car, but she said she did nothing wrong. She claimed that she is “a sovereign citizen” and was not obliged to get out. The lieutenant told her she was under arrest.

1. What we're dealing with from RWers in general...

the whole "rules don't apply to me" attitude.

3. This

2. High speed chases for nothing more than failure to stop at a light I fundamentally oppose

Course, someone like this could REALLY easily have a bunch of outstanding warrants, which changes my calculus on the matter somewhat.

That being said, she's about to learn a valuable lesson as to how much weight her declaration of being 'sovereign' actually has

4. She may be sovereign in her "own kingdom" buy she's driving on OUR ROADS

and subject to OUR laws.

fuck these lunatics

5. She is nuts.

She owns the campground that refused to let people wear masks in May 2020 in their campground, stating they would consider mask wearing an attempt to rob the campground. A few months later she was caught impersonating a law officer.

6. A twofer, Baby! A law enforcement car chase AND some sovereign citizen wackadoodle shit

Two of my guilty pleasure YouTube viewing subjects.

7. High speed chase, endangering anyone in her path, and disobeyed an officer's order

Tasered? No. Shot? No. Brutalized? No. One of the cops knew her personally and politely asked her to get out of her vehicle. And she still refused.

8. Be sure to give her the Sovereign Citizen Suite at the county jail.
