Authorities say a man accused of shooting a Sioux City police officer has been captured in Texas.
Police announced on Saturday that 21-year-old Jamal Dean was arrested without incident during a traffic stop in Riviera, Texas.
Several agencies learned on Friday that Dean may be in Texas. They believe he was headed to the border between the United States and Mexico. He was stopped in a Dodge Durango going south on Highway 77.
The manhunt for Dean began Monday. He is accused of firing several shots from a rifle at Officer Kevin McCormick during a routine traffic stop. The hunt spread to Omaha, but it turned up nothing.
McCormick, who was shot in the forehead, is expected to make a full recovery.
