NSP arrests two following pursuit, four-hour manhunt
Two people were arrested after leading state troopers on a pursuit and four-hunt manhunt in Wayne County Friday afternoon, the agency said in a news release.
NSP said a trooper was dispatched to the area near 579th Avenue and 847th Road south of Wayne to a report of a possible vehicle fire. Once the trooper found the vehicle, a Chevrolet Silverado that was later determined to be stolen, the vehicle then fled, the patrol said.
The vehicle drove into a field where authorities set up a perimeter. Air support and search dogs were brought in to help with the search.
The suspects, identified as Rodney King, 49, of Centerville, South Dakota, and Connie Dominguez, 45, of Wayne, Nebraska, were found in separate locations about a mile away from each other, the patrol said.
Both were arrested for possession of stolen property, flight to avoid arrest, and possession of methamphetamine. They were lodged in Thurston County Jail.
