(AP) — A 28-year-old man sought in an Omaha assault case has been arrested after a two-state chase.
Omaha police say Allen Williams was spotted late Saturday night in a pickup that soon halted after officers deployed stop strips that flattened the truck tires. But police say Williams then threatened a woman at a gas station nearby, stole her car and then took off on a chase that coursed across the Missouri River into Iowa and then back again.
Police say Williams was arrested after the car plowed through some backyards in western Omaha. Police say an officer fired his gun but didn’t hit anyone.
Williams faces robbery, drug, assault and other charges. Online court records don’t include the name of his lawyer in this case. He’s previously served prison time.
