A high speed chase of a motorcycle by authorities in Page County Saturday morning resulted the arrest of a man from Nebraska. Clarinda Police Chief Keith Brothers reports that around 9:55-a.m., officers with the Clarinda Police Department and deputies from the Page County Sheriff’s Department were involved in a high-speed vehicle pursuit that began at 12th & Washington Streets.

The chase began when a Clarinda Police Officer attempted to stop a 1992 Kawasaki motorcycle for failure to obey a stop sign. The driver of the motorcycle led officers on a high-speed chase through the east and south area of Clarinda.

The cycle was abandoned in the 100 block of N. 12th St., where the operator, 22-year old John Edward Hyler, of Norfolk, NE.,   fled on foot into a residence.  Hyler was apprehended a short time later. He was being held in the Page County Jail on two counts of eluding law enforcement vehicles and numerous traffic violations.

Reports have been forwarded to Page County Attorney’s Office for formal charging decisions.
