A chase that began early this (Monday) morning in Cass County ended with one person injured and two others taken into custody. Cass County Sheriff Darby McClaren told KJAN News the chase began at around 1-a.m., when Deputy Ben Bartholomew tried to stop a vehicle on Highway 6 by State Radio (North of Lewis) and continued eastbound into Atlantic.

The vehicle turned onto Poplar Street and continued north to Highway 83. The pursuit continued through Marne and into Walnut. The chase, which also involved Cass County Deputies Josh McLaren and Kyle Quist, ended after a deputy performed a PIT Maneuver (Precision Immobilization Technique). The measure was necessary, he says, because the driver of the suspect vehicle was beginning to travel the wrong direction on the Interstate 80 exit ramp to Walnut.

Two of the vehicles’ occupants, a man and a women, tried to flee, but were taken into custody. The male driver of the vehicle was injured and transported to a hospital in Omaha. He’ll be taken into custody once he’s released from the hospital. The Sheriff says two of the men in the car had warrants for their arrest out of Pottawattamie County. The names of the suspects had not been released as of mid-day.
