(Lincoln, NE) – The Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) reports a man from Harrison County was arrested Saturday following a traffic stop and a pursuit. Authorities say at around 9:15-p.m., Saturday, a Trooper with the NSP observed a motorcycle speeding on West Dodge Road in Omaha, near 192nd Street. The trooper attempted a traffic stop, but the operator – later identified as 28-year-old Brandon Kellar, of Woodbine – refused to yield. The trooper initiated a pursuit.

As the motorcycle reached 204th Street, it accelerated and continued westbound. The vehicle exited Dodge on Skyline Drive and began driving through Elkhorn. NSP pilots were monitoring from overhead in the NSP helicopter. After a short time, the motorcycle’s engine failed, and the rider came to a stop on 204th Street. He was taken into custody without further incident.

Brandon Kellar was booked into the Douglas County, Nebraska, Jail, for willful reckless driving, flight to avoid arrest, and traffic violations.
