Fremont County Sheriff Kevin Aistrope reports that Wednesday afternoon, the Fremont County Sheriffs Office received a call from Otoe County Sheriffs Office in Nebraska, that there was an active vehicle pursuit crossing over into Fremont County, Iowa. Deputies from Otoe County continued to pursue the vehicle that was driven by 36 year old Brandon Scott Neumeister, of Nebraska City, NE. Neumeister was wanted by Nebraska authorities for a Felony parole violation.

Neumeister led deputies on a chase from Nebraska through Fremont County to include the state park. The pursuit continued into Hamburg city limits where 27 year old Brittany Rose Alexander also of Nebraska City, jumped from the vehicle and fled on foot. Deputies continued to pursue Neumeister until he rolled his truck after driving through a citizens back yard, as the citizen was outside. Neumeister then tried to flee on foot before a Fremont County K9 apprehended him for not complying with commands.

Neumeister was transported to jail after refusing medical treatment on scene and later transferred to the hospital once at the jail, for injuries from the dog bite and the wreck of his vehicle. Brittany Alexander was apprehended a short time later by the Iowa State Patrol, in the area where she fled from the vehicle. Both parties are awaiting their initial appearance before a magistrate. The are facing multiple charges. Neumeister will also be held on his Nebraska parole warrant until his Iowa charges are concluded.

Sheriff Aistrope would also like to express his gratitude to citizens in Hamburg during the pursuit for their help directing deputies towards the suspects.
