SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - The Plymouth man who led law enforcement on a high speed chase this month is facing more charges. 35 year old Jedidiah Bridwell was charged Tuesday with intimidation of a victim and nine counts of contempt of court for disobeying an order.
The criminal complaint states Bridwell made nine phone calls to his wife from the Sheboygan County Detention Center from Saturday through Monday. On one phone call, Bridwell made a threat to his wife of cutting her off. The calls were not allowed under a bond Judge Rebecca Persick had placed on Bridwell last week when he was charged for leading officers on a high speed chase June 2.
The woman was one of two people Bridwell allegedly threatened to kill, prompting law enforcement to search for him and leading to the chase.
Bridwell made an appearance in court Tuesday for the new charges, and will have his next court date on June 15. He faces up to 19 years in prison if found guilty of all ten charges.
