Foot chase, vehicle search

Nebraska State Patrol Investigator Paul Gaboury (left) and McCook Police Dept. patrol officer Randall Datus search the pickup owned by a McCook man who abandoned it in Barnett Park and ran on foot when a State Patrol officer tried to serve him with an arrest warrant out of Cheyenne County late Friday morning. The man, whose name was not available Friday afternoon, was apprehended at the corner of South Seventh (north of the park) and transported by McCook ambulance to Community Hospital of McCook suffering from shortness of breath; a spokesman for the hospital could release no information on the man Friday afternoon. His pickup was hauled from the park and impounded. The investigation continues. (Connie Jo Discoe/McCook Daily Gazette)
