A traffic stop on an SUV in Fremont County at around 1:30-a.m. Sunday (today), resulted in a pursuit, a crash, and the arrest of a juvenile. The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office reports a deputy tried to stop a Ford Explorer for not having headlights on, as the vehicle was traveling south on Highway 59, near the Shenandoah Wal-Mart. The driver failed to stop, and led authorities on a pursuit that started eastbound on West Nishna Road in Shenandoah, at speeds of up to 100 mph.

The SUV went out of control near 200th Street and B Avenue. It rolled into the ditch and landed on its passenger side. The driver was identified as a 14-year old juvenile from Essex, who had taken his mother’s vehicle while she was sleeping. The unidentified juvenile was taken into custody and transported to the Juvenile Detention Center, in Council Bluffs.

Fremont County Deputies were assisted during the incident, by Shenandoah Police and Page County Sheriff’s Deputies.
