Not in Western Nebraska

Three inmates who escaped from prison in Indiana last week then allegedly stole a truck, money and guns were captured Thursday in Nebraska after a high-speed car chase, authorities said.


The three escapees, (from left) Jerry Sargent, Christopher Marshall and Bobby Cockerell, were captured in Nebraska.

Nebraska State Patrol spokesman Mike Meyer said officers apprehended Christopher Marshall, Jerry Sargent and Bobby Cockerell in Alliance, Nebraska, after a nearly 60-mile chase with speeds reaching up to 100 mph.

According to Meyer, law enforcement officers tried twice to spike the tires of the minivan the men were traveling in.

They succeeded on the second try about five miles east of Alliance, but the suspects kept driving on flat tires until they were inside the city limits.

The men started running when the vehicle stopped. Two were caught, but the third tried to carjack a vehicle at gunpoint before being arrested by an Alliance Police officer, according to Meyer. It is not yet known which escapee tried to take the vehicle at gunpoint.

No shots were fired and no one was seriously injured, Meyer said.

The three men broke out of the Branchville Correctional Facility near Tell City, Indiana, last week, authorities said. Tell City is about 80 miles west of Louisville, Kentucky.

Police believe the three stole guns during a home-invasion robbery in Sanders, Kentucky, earlier this week.

New arrest warrants charge them with possessing stolen firearms as well as felony possession of firearms, said George Huffman, spokesman for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Because they were convicted of violent crimes, he said, they are not allowed to possess firearms at all.

Police suspect the three of stealing a truck from a town near the prison and robbing three brothers in Sanders, about 65 miles east of Louisville, early Monday. The brothers were attacked, bound and held in their home for about an hour and a half while their assailants made off with guns and money, according to the Kentucky State Police.

One of the three brothers was hospitalized after the attack, while the other two were treated and released.

These fellas made a mad dash through Western Nebraska yesterday. Ok actually they holed up in Mullen, Nebraska in a motel ordering dinner and then returning to the bar later for beers. :shock: After leaving a patron called 911. This sparked the chase that went through my hometown and on.

We've been having these gun debates on here. From experience I can say I'd rather just avoid the area then sit and protect with a gun.

How do you know what area to avoid? Granted if you avoid the urban jungle, gang/criminal areas in the wee hours of the night you'd be better off. Trouble & danger can find you anywhere.

Cattle Army, I was reading yesterday how Illinois has a bill on the table outlawing some guns in certain zip codes. The zip codes will now be safe and if you want you can hang out in those areas.

Those zip codes will be like little islands of safety, from the big bad gun owners, I'm sure.

I'll try to find the bill again.

Hey isn't that what VT was, a gun free zone where everyone was safe.
Thank goodness for those people that can pass laws and insure we are safe. :wink:

Larry, I need to bring up that the Illinois bill, is only outlawing certain guns, I think it was .50 cal.

Thats the calibre that kills, that's why it will be safer in those zip codes!

Our area is normally safe. The reason I posted the article in the first place was because we have been discussing the ban of certain weapons and arguing over it all. One never truely knows how they feel about it until placed in a situation. My point was when faced with criminals I now know I'd just rather be in a safe place with out a weapon then holded up at home with a gun.

I don't think we get to choose. Better to be prepared for all situations, is how I feel.

Wonder what CA would do if she looked up and seen these guys coning down her driveway?
Lay down and play dead?
I would rather have a weapon there and not ever have to use it than need it and not have one.
But then I am not like CA and scold them bad boys and tell them to turn themselves in!!! :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Many people would probably consider Mullen a safe place...... If you don't want a weapon, don't get one.

The point being sometimes we can avoid areas where there is a need for a weapon. Not all the time but sometimes we can.

No you can't.

Yes you can.

Let's take last night for instance. I wasn't in town when it was going on and after hearing it was going on I saw no need to travel anywhere near highway 2. Yes you can avoid it.

You can only avoid it if you know what is happening. How about if
YOU are the first person in someones way?????
How are you going to avoid a confrontation then?

You can't be this stupid.

I wouldn't have a weapon in my vehicle anyway.
If I'm the first I'm either going to try and talk my way out of it or simply kiss my ass goodbye.


You surely aren't this big of a rip to suggest I'm stupid are you?
