Two caught with drugs, stolen UTV after southern Nebraska chase, authorities say
LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Two people were arrested last week after a chase in southern Nebraska, the Thayer County Sheriff’s Office says.
Around 6 p.m. Friday, deputies tried pulling over a vehicle near Highway 81 and County Road S, just north of Hebron.
The driver — 61-year-old David Ebke — didn’t pull over, and deputies chased him on the county road for about 7 miles, the sheriff’s office said.
Ebke eventually stopped and was arrested on suspicion of several charges, including fleeing to avoid arrest.
During a search of the vehicle, deputies found meth, drug paraphernalia and suspected drug money, the sheriff’s office said.
As part of the investigation, deputies served a search warrant Saturday at a home in Alexandria and found more contraband, including a stolen utility vehicle.
Barbara Seefus, 58, was at the home and arrested on suspicion of theft by receiving stolen property and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Ebke was also charged with theft by receiving stolen property.
