A traffic stop turns into a foot pursuit with Lincoln Police and ends in a suspect being tased!

It happened at around two Wednesday morning near 27th and Kimco.

Lincoln police stopped a car for expired plates. That's when the driver, 24-year-old Erick Williams, got out and took off running.

Police called in a K–9 unit to search for the suspect.

When police located the suspect, he fled again. Officers tased Williams and brought into custody.

He was lodged in jail for violating parole, failure to comply and other traffic violations.
