(KNZA)--A 28-year-old man is jailed in Brown County following an alleged theft in Richardson County, Nebraska.

According to a report from Brown County Sheriff John Merchant, a Sheriff's deputy was dispatched to the vicinity of 315 and Antelope Roads around 3:00 the morning of November 6 to locate two suspects who had been involved in an alleged theft in Dawson, Nebraska.

The suspect vehicle had driven off the roadway numerous times driving through unharvested fields.

Merchant said apparently an individual witnessed the theft and followed the suspect vehicle, which became disabled.

The individual said two people ran from the disabled vehicle, with one of the suspects identified by the individual as Austin Archer.

Merchant said Archer was located nearby, and after investigation, was arrested by Brown County deputies on charges of possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, obstruction, battery of a law enforcement officer, failure to report an accident, criminal damage to property and driving while suspended.

Merchant said the investigation is ongoing, with other charges possible.
