(AP) — Authorities say a police chase that began in suburban Omaha and wound south through southwest Iowa ended with a crash and the arrests of William Stanfill III and Jacqueline Streich, both of Omaha. Charges against the pair are pending in Fremont County. Bellevue, NE police investigating a reported drive-by shooting Tuesday night say a man in a vehicle fired at officers early Wednesday and then fled into Iowa. None of the officers was hit.

Ludwig identified him as Trooper Dillon Malone.
