Deputies with the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office had a bit of excitement early this (Sunday) morning. Sheriff Kevin Aistrope reports that at around 1-a.m., deputies with the Fremont County Sheriff’s office were checking on a 2011 GMC Sierra located on 240th avenue, just north of Hamburg. The truck was parked in the middle of the road on 240th ave.

As deputies were approaching the truck, the vehicle took off from deputies. Deputies engaged in a pursuit reaching speeds of 96 MPH. The pursuit continued south onto 250th ave reaching a level B maintenance road. The vehicle came to a stop at the Missouri / Iowa line on 250th ave.

Deputies were then able to arrest the driver, identified as 27 year old Zachary Spears of Hamburg. Spears was taken into custody without further incident and transported to the Fremont County Law Enforcement center where he posted bond and was released.
