Police arrested a Nebraska City man after he attempted to elude them in a car, on a 4-wheeler and eventually on foot.
Officers were responding to separate auto accident and disturbance calls on Fourth Avenue when a car would not pull over to the side as police approached.
“The car blew a stop sign and the chase was on,” said Sgt. Dana Schebaum.
Police followed the car over a mile observing it stop near a residence. Officers say 18-year-old Matthew Jorgenson emerged on a 4-wheeler near 201 10th Corso.
Officers chased the 4-wheeler through town until a foot chase ensued. Jorgenson was apprehended at the 1200 block of Fourth Avenue around noon.
Officers said Jorgenson may have thought he was being pulled over when he saw officers heading to the accident.
Jorgenson is scheduled for trial in Otoe County District Court on March 6 on a charge of attempted felony on Nov. 8.
He is scheduled for trial March 6 on marijuana charges that linked him to a residence where officers found a meth cook in progress on Oct. 4.
The accident that officers were responding to before Jorgenson bolted involved a run-away car that hit a fence at Arbor Lodge State Historical Park.
Police report that the driver exited the car and argued with a woman who had approached the car.
