Authorities have apprehended a fugitive who was hiding in some northwest Nebraska woods.
Authorities say 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 Pearce through an unidentified go-between to get him to surrender.
The hunt for Pearce began Monday evening when officers tried to serve him with Nevada and Utah arrest warrants. Pearce escaped in a pickup that was found later near some woods.
Dailey says Pearce has some military training that may have prepared him for the cold and the wilderness conditions.
