One person is in custody, another is being sought following a high-speed chase early this (Thursday) morning. WOWT in Omaha reports the chase, that went from Carter Lake into Omaha, began around midnight, when someone stole a car. Police say the suspect allegedly tried to run over a Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Department deputy during the pursuit, which was called off when speeds topped 90 mph.

Omaha police eventually found the car abandoned in an alley near North 24th and Lothrop streets. A woman believed to be a passenger during the pursuit was inside and was taken into police custody.

The man who was driving has not been located.
