An unidentified man fleeing from a traffic stop had a literal run-in with the law, Wednesday afternoon, in Carter Lake. The Omaha World-Herald reports the driver of a car fled from police during an attempted traffic stop at around 1:45-p.m., Wednesday. The man, who was driving a car with Nebraska plates, took off when a Carter Lake Police officer tried to stop him for speeding on Avenue Q into Shoreline Estates.

The vehicle went over curbs and tore through residential yards and streets. The chase ended when the vehicle collided with an SUV driven by Carter Lake Police Chief Shawn Kannedy, near the intersection with Avenue Q and Marina Court. The suspect jumped out of the car and leaped over a fence. Officers found the man lying on the ground near a house. He told police he ran from them because he didn’t have a driver’s license, but officials say he didn’t appear to have a record or any outstanding warrants.

Neither the suspect, nor Chief Kannedy were injured during the collision. Following the crash, the car skidded into a backup generator for the Carter Lake pump system, badly damaging the machine.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) – An attorney says a man arrested in Texas in connection with the shooting of an Iowa police officer won’t fight extradition back to Iowa. The Sioux City Journal reports that the attorney for Jamal Dean said Dean told a judge in Corpus Christi, Texas, on Wednesday that he would waive proceedings.

Dean was arrested Saturday in Riviera, Texas. The 21-year-old was wanted on a warrant that listed attempted murder. Dean is accused of shooting a rifle at Sioux City Officer Kevin McCormick during a traffic stop on April 29. McCormick is expected to make a full recovery.

Woodbury County Sheriff Dave Drew says experienced deputies will go to Texas, take charge of Dean and bring him back to Sioux City.
