Fugitive Arrested Near Falls City
03/06/2017

(KLZA)-- A man wanted on  a felony warrant in Lancaster County and for criminal activity in Gage County was arrested without incident Monday morning at a house just west of Falls City.

Beatrice Police Lieutenant Mike Oliver confirmed to MSCNEWS that 32-year-old Brandon Kopf was arrested near Falls City by the Metro Area Fugitive Task Force.

Kopf was wanted in Gage County for fleeing to avoid arrest, willful reckless driving, violating a traffic control signal, leaving the scene of a property damage accident and driving while suspended or revoked. 

According to the Gage County Sheriff’s Department website report, shortly before 9 p.m. on February 28, Gage County Deputies were attempting to locate Kopf on the Lancaster County warrant.

Deputies observed a vehicle matching the description of the vehicle Kopf was believed to be driving. When an attempt was made to stop the vehicle as it pulled into the parking lot of a convenience store in the 800 block of  West Court Street.  When a Deputy attempted to make contact, the vehicle rapidly accelerated and left the parking area, traveling east down Court Street in Beatrice at a high rate of speed. 

A pursuit began but deputies lost site of the vehicle when it turned north.  A short time later, it was discovered that Kopf’s vehicle, a black, GMC, SUV had collided with a fire hydrant and then smashed into a building at 800 Court Street housing the Tom Cass Insurance agency.  

Kopf allegedly fled on foot and Gage County authorities have been looking for him since.
