SIDNEY, NE – Two people are under arrest after authorities say one of them crashed a stolen Nebraska State Patrol cruiser, Fox Nebraska reports.
The incident began Sunday afternoon when the NSP stopped a vehicle east of Sidney that had been reported speeding on Interstate 80 and passing other vehicles on the shoulder of the highway.
