NEBRASKA CITY, Neb. (AP) Authorities say a 39-year-old Texas
homicide suspect has been captured in southeast Nebraska. The Nebraska State Patrol said in a news release Wednesday that
Sisro Johnson was being held in Otoe County Jail. The homicide
warrant came from Garland, Texas.
The patrol says a Nebraska trooper tried to stop a sport utility
vehicle on U.S. Highway 75 just north of the Kansas state line a
little before 9:30 p.m. Tuesday. The trooper says the SUV matched
the description given for the Texas suspect's vehicle.
After pulling to the shoulder, the SUV soon roared off into a
chase that reached speeds of 110 mph. The chase continued north for nearly 30 miles until the SUV stopped after one of its tires went
flat.
Johnson was taken into custody without incident.
