A U-S Marshall in Omaha told television station KETV that a fugitive from Council Bluffs, 29-year old Jamie Kennedy, surrendered to authorities Wednesday night, at an apartment near 100th and and Crown Point plazas. Kennedy was taken into custody after 8 p.m. following an hour-long standoff. Officials say tips led investigators to Kennedy’s location at the apartment complex. Additional information was not immediately available.

Kennedy, who used a vehicle to ram a Council Bluffs Police Officer’s vehicle during his initial apprehension attempt late Tuesday morning, abandoned his vehicle in Omaha and was not seen until late Wednesday afternoon. But he once again eluded officers and agents until he eventually surrendered peacefully.
