Troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) have arrested two people after a pursuit that ended near North Platte Tuesday afternoon.
At approximately 1:15 p.m. Tuesday, a trooper observed an eastbound Buick Encore speeding near Hershey, at mile marker 164, on Interstate 80. The trooper performed a traffic stop. During the traffic stop, the trooper learned that the passenger of the Encore, Taylon Hill, 22, of New York, New York, had an active warrant for his arrest.
As the trooper attempted to make an arrest, the Encore fled the traffic stop eastbound at a high rate of speed. The trooper initiated a pursuit. The Encore reached speeds of approximately 120 miles per hour during the pursuit. Additional troopers were able to successfully deploy stop sticks to slow the vehicle. The Encore exited at North Platte, at mile marker 179, and came to a stop at a truck stop. The entire pursuit lasted approximately ten minutes.
