Motorcyclist rrested following high-speed chase in Lincoln County

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. — The Nebraska State Patrol has arrested a man following a high-speed chase in Lincoln County.

The incident began on Thursday evening around 6:00 p.m. when a trooper on Highway 83 near mile marker 104 attempted to stop a motorcycle clocked at 122 miles per hour. The motorcyclist sped up, prompting a pursuit. During the chase, the motorcycle exceeded 140 miles per hour and traveled through a no-passing zone.

Lincoln County deputies joined the pursuit but lost sight when the motorcyclist turned north onto Highway 97, leading the trooper to terminate the chase. Shortly after, another trooper spotted a motorcycle matching the description on Highway 92, west of Stapleton. A traffic stop confirmed it was the same rider from the initial pursuit.

The motorcyclist, identified as 21-year-old Noah Fullerton, was arrested on multiple charges, including operating a motor vehicle to avoid arrest, driving without a motorcycle license, willful reckless driving, and various traffic violations.
