Chadron station KCSR reports Justin Pearce was captured Wednesday under a pile of hay near Whitney in Dawes County.
Dawes County Sheriff Karl Dailey said earlier that officers spoke with Pierce through an unidentified go-between to get him to surrender.
The hunt for Pierce began Monday evening when officers tried to serve him with Nevada and Utah arrest warrants. Pierce escaped in a pickup that was found later near some woods.
Dailey says Justin Pearce has some military training that may have prepared him for the cold and the wilderness conditions.

(North Platte, NE) – It’s that time of year. Children are making their wish lists, and hoping for that special toy under the tree. Unfortunately, there are many children in our community who won’t find any toys waiting for them this holiday season.
Maurices wants to do its part to change that. The fashion retailer will collect toys for disadvantaged children at its Platte River Mall location.
All new, unwrapped toys collected from Dec.1,2012 to Dec. 20,2012 at Maurices, 1000 South Dewey St., will be distributed to local families by Rape and Domestic Abuse Center. Everyone who makes a donation will receive a coupon for 20 percent off a regular-priced item at Maurices.
“We want to share the joys of the season with the families in our community who are struggling this year,” said Maurices Store Manager Wendy Engleman.
“We’re encouraging donations for children of all ages,” said Engleman. “Sometimes tweens and teens are overlooked. Things like board games, books, fragrances, jewelry and accessories make great gifts for older children.”

Police have released the name of a man shot by an officer in a western Omaha neighborhood.
He was identified as 28-year-old Oliver Halverson, who was taken to Creighton University Medical Center.
Police say the shooting occurred just after noon Wednesday. Officers had been sent to a home to check on a man reportedly armed with a knife and threatening suicide.
Officers found the man near 124th and Burt streets. Police say at least one officer fired after confronting the man. Police have not said whether the man was armed with a knife or any other weapon when the officer fired. The name of the officer hasn’t been released.
Police say an Omaha teenager gunned down in October was killed because of the color of his shirt.
Sixteen-year-old Montrell Wiseman was shot and killed on Oct. 21. A 16-year-old girl also was shot and injured.
Police say five men charged in the shooting were going to steal alcohol that day, but instead decided to get revenge for the September shooting death of a fellow gang member. The group went to a rival gang area looking for anyone wearing red when they spotted Wiseman. Police say Wiseman was not affiliated with a gang.
The five men — Angelo Tolbert, Joshua Van Ackeren, Matthew Saunsoci, Adam Gamble, and Francis Cayou — were ordered Monday to stand trial. A sixth person, Nicole Gamble, is also charged, accused of hiding Tolbert from police.
The City of Kearney Utilities Department and Midlands Contracting announce that beginning Wednesday, November 28, 2012, 56th Street will be reduced to one lane during the day time hours from Cherry Avenue westward approximately ½ mile. Reducing 56th Street to one lane is required to allow for the construction of a 16-inch diameter water main along the south side of the street. 56th Street will be opened to two lanes during the evening and overnight each night that the work progresses.
During the construction motorists are asked to use an alternate route, if possible. If an alternate route is not possible, motorists are asked to expect delays, yield to oncoming traffic, watch for construction workers and equipment, and to follow the directions of flagmen at the site.
The water main construction should be completed by December 7, 2012, weather permitting.
Earlier this month convicted mother, Doris Herrin of Gothenburg, filed an appeal challenging her conviction of manslaughter because she believes she had ‘ineffective counsel’ before her conviction.
The 29-year-old mother is serving 18 to 20 years in prison after a 5 day trial in August. Prosecutors say that Herrin shook her three-year-old daughter, Misty, and hit her three times in the head. Misty was diagnosed with a brain hemorrhage and died after being taken off life support.
Herrin will work with a new defense attorney, appointed by the Dawson County District Court, because of her reason for the appeal which points at the guidance from her previous defense attorney.
