(KNZA)--The search for a suspect continues, following an early Wednesday evening Brown County pursuit.
“About 5:15 PM, one of my Brown County Deputies was on routine patrol on 75 Highway in the vicinity of 300th Road,” Sheriff John Merchant tells MSC News. “[The deputy] found that they had a northbound vehicle in that proximity that was traveling at a higher rate of speed than they should be, and they decided they would run.”
Merchant says the chase was abandoned after about 10 minutes, in the area of of Humboldt, Nebraska. “The Deputy used good common sense and everything during the chase. We appreciate that a lot. When he deemed it was necessary that it was starting to be a danger to the public then the chase was terminated. We did get the tag number off the Mustang and the investigation is ongoing.”
Merchant says the search is underway for the person behind the wheel of the black Mustang, and expects an arrest to be forthcoming.
