police-lights-redOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A man trying to evade police has been arrested after crashing his vehicle and then stealing a truck in Omaha.

The 35-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of multiple charges that include robbery and felony resisting arrest in the Sunday pursuit.

Lincoln police had tried to serve the man with a warrant at his home, but he left. They tried to make contact with him later at a gas station, and he sped off in a vehicle. A state patrol aircraft tracked the man as he drove into Omaha.

Authorities say the man then collided with another vehicle. A truck driver stopped to help out, but the man stole his vehicle.

Omaha police later caught up with the man and arrested him.
