Yesterday did have some significant scanner traffic.
On Monday at 10:37 am, traffic indicated a stolen vehicle. A 2024 Jeep Wrangler with a lift kit. License plate Nebraska 60FEET6. Last known location heading west on Highway 88 from Highway 71.
Based on that license plate number and our experience on the mound and behind the plate, this Jeep may belong to a baseball player.
In any case, Scotts Bluff County has the vehicle in sight and was headed west on Highway 88 towards Wyoming. Once the vehicle hit the state line, both Gering and Scotts Bluff County were no longer in pursuit of the vehicle.
A short time later, it was the Wyoming Highway Patrol posting that the vehicle had been caught.
"Two juvenile suspects are in custody after a high-speed chase that started in Nebraska and ended in Cheyenne."
The Wyoming Highway Patrol was alerted to a chase in progress coming out of Nebraska into Goshen County involving the stolen Jeep Wrangler. Wyoming troopers made contact and joined the pursuit at 11.31am near the Antelope East Cheyenne on the I-80 service road. The pursuit continued at a high rate of speed with the vehicle exiting onto Campstool Road where Cheyenne PD joined the pursuit.
The Jeep then left the road near Sierra Trading Post and attempted to jump the railroad track south of Sun Valley. The suspects fleed, entering a residence in southern Sun Valley where they were taken into custody with the aid of a K-9 unit from the Cheyenne Police Department. Great teamwork with multiple agencies including Scotts Bluff County Sheriff's Department, Gering Police Department, Cheyenne Police Department, the Laramie County Sheriff's Office, and the Wyoming Highway Patrol.
