A pursuit in Audubon County Tuesday afternoon resulted in the arrest of a Shelby County man. Audubon County Sheriff Todd Johnson reports authorities tried to stop a vehicle driven by 18-year old Lucas Alan Schwery, of Harlan, at around 4-p.m. Tuesday, near Eagle Avenue and Littlefield Drive.

Schwery allegedly tried to elude the officer by going in excess of 90-miles per hour. The pursuit finally ended in Elk Horn with Schwery being taken into custody and charged with Eluding. He appeared before the magistrate and was released, with a preliminary hearing set for Oct. 6th.

The Audubon County Sheriff’s Office reports also, 18-year old Jeremy Robert Albert, of Kimballton, was arrested Monday afternoon on an Audubon County warrant charging him with Public Intoxication, Providing False Information to Law Enforcement, and Interference with Official Acts. The charges stem from an investigation into an incident that took place Aug. 10th on Main Street in Kimballton. Albert was brought to the Audubon County Jail and posted bond prior to being released. He’s set to appear in court next Monday morning.

And, as we mentioned in an earlier report, on Wednesday (Sept. 17th), 18-year old Matthew Henry Paulsen, of Adair, was arrested by the Cass County Sheriff’s Office on an outstanding Audubon County warrant stemming from an investigation into a theft that took place Sept. 4th at a residence in Exira.
