Troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol arrested one person following a pursuit in Omaha overnight.

At approximately 1:15 a.m. Thursday, a trooper saw a Chevrolet Silverado speeding at approximately 100 miles per hour on Interstate 80 near 42nd Street in Omaha. The trooper attempted a traffic stop, but the driver refused to yield. The trooper initiated a pursuit.

The pickup entered I-480 northbound and continued fleeing with speeds of 100 miles per hour. The vehicle continued northbound onto Highway 75 and eventually turned eastbound on Ames Avenue. After several blocks, the driver failed to navigate a curve, drove through a fence, and struck a parked vehicle.

A passenger of the pickup immediately fled on foot. The driver remained in the vehicle. When he was taken into custody, the driver provided false information. Troopers and Omaha Police Officers searched the area, but the passenger was not located.

The driver, Jose Jaimes, 28, of Omaha, was arrested for flight to avoid arrest, willful reckless driving, driving under the influence, refusing a chemical test, obstructing a peace officer, false reporting, driving under suspension, and numerous traffic offenses. He was medically cleared at the hospital and then lodged in Douglas County Jail.
