Man chases stripper for 65 miles, then runs her over

A man is accused of following a female stripper in his car for 65 miles in northern Wisconsin, and then running her over. The 70-year-old, named as Benedict Sedivy of Cicero Illinois, was charged in Florence County with two felony counts of reckless endangerment and a felony count of aggravated battery.

Sedivy had a large knife when he confronted a 46-year-old man and a 32-year-old woman, whom prosectors say he knew was a dancer at an Eagle River strip club.

When the couple tried to escape, Sedivy followed them from an Eagle River hotel to Florence. The woman’s accomplice said that Sedivy’s car hit him twice during the chase, and when they got to Florence, the couple’s car spun into a ditch to try and lose Sedivy. A trucker said he saw both driving past at 90 miles per hour.

Running into a wooded area, the woman decided to talk to the suspect and he carried her on his hood for 150 yards before slamming on the brakes and throwing her into a ditch.
