MILWAUKEE -- An undercover operation to bust a suspected drug dealer leads to a police chase, crash and a harrowing encounter for a River Hills Homeowner.

The crash happened on on Good Hope Rd. near I-43 just before 11:00 a.m.

The homeowner confronted him and with the help of a police dog, the suspect was arrested.

The suspect had a few injuries related to the crash.

The homeowner was not hurt.
