Wanted Pennsylvania man arrested after chase in central Nebraska, patrol says

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – A wanted Pennsylvania man was caught early Friday morning after a chase in central Nebraska, the state patrol says.

At about 9:30 p.m. on Thursday, the Nebraska State Patrol received info that a man wanted in Pennsylvania was believed to be traveling through the state.

The patrol said a trooper spotted the man, 58-year-old Antonio Lindsay, and his vehicle at a gas station at the Alda interchange on Interstate 80.

The trooper was approaching Lindsay when he drove away and ripped “the fuel hose away from the vehicle,” the patrol said.

Lindsay went south on Alda Road, reaching speeds over 120 mph, and the trooper pursued him, according to the patrol.

Eventually, Lindsay drove into a corn field and ran away.

Troopers, along with other police and sheriff departments, searched the area and found Lindsay by using thermal drones.

He was taken into custody just after midnight on suspicion of several charges, including flight to avoid arrest and reckless driving.

The patrol said Lindsay was wanted in Pennsylvania for aggravated assault and “other charges.”
