(LINCOLN, NEB.)  — It was a busy weekend for Nebraska State Troopers across the state, which included several arrests and responses to other incidents.

At approximately 8:10 p.m. Saturday evening, a trooper responded to a 911 call from a residence in Wahoo. The caller, a 16-year-old, reported that someone had broken into the residence and that he had locked himself in the basement. Upon arrival, the trooper located a suspect exiting the front door, and the suspect was taken into custody with the assistance of Saunders County deputies.

An investigation revealed that the suspect had taken food from inside the home. The suspect, 46-year-old Gregory Hain, of Wahoo, was lodged in Saunders County Jail for burglary. The 16-year-old occupant of the home was not harmed.

Sunday, at approximately 11:15 p.m., a trooper observed a Chevrolet pickup that failed to signal a turn as it was traveling on Highway 6 near McCook. The trooper attempted a traffic stop, but the vehicle fled eastbound on Highway 6. The trooper then initiated a pursuit.

During the pursuit, NSP dispatchers discovered that the vehicle had been reported stolen. The vehicle reached speeds in excess of 90 miles per hour and continued driving recklessly for several miles until it eventually came to a stop after striking a sign near Indianola. The driver was then taken into custody without further incident.

The driver, 24-year-old Colin McConnell-Vontz, of McCook, was arrested for flight to avoid arrest, careless driving, theft by receiving stolen property, and traffic violations. He was lodged in Red Willow County Jail.
