A motorcycle driver went to jail after fleeing a state trooper at speeds of up to 145 mph.

Nebraska State Patrol spokesperson Deb Collins said the incident began about 5:45 Wednesday evening. A state trooper attempted to stop a motorcycle for speeding on Highway 77, just north of the 56th Street Interchange near Lincoln. The driver of the motorcycle refused to stop and accelerated. The trooper pursued the motorcycle continuing north on Highway 77 toward Ceresco, with speeds at times reaching 145 mph.

Collins said the short pursuit ended without incident after the motorcycle driver pulled into a farmstead just north of Branched Oak Road.

The driver of the motorcycle, 23-year-old Jessee Newman of Lincoln
was arrested for Flight to Avoid Arrest, Speeding 145 mph/65 mph zone, 2nd Offense Driving Under Suspension, Willful Reckless Driving, No Operator’s License, No Motorcycle Endorsement, and Possession of Marijuana less than an Ounce.
