Thursday, September 19, 1985 Daily Nebraskan Colorado man tours Capitol at high speed, lands in jail By Janet Stefanski Staff Reporter A Colorado man on a motorcycle, who wanted to see Gov. Bob Kerrey, led Lincoln police on a high-speed chase around the Nebraska State Capitol Wednesday noon. "He wanted to see the governor and get his name in the papers," said Sgt. Art Bandars, of the Lincoln Police Department. "He said he wanted to run for a public office." The incident ended at 16th and K streets where Lincoln police officers pulled the man off the motorcycle. Bandars would not release the name of the man, but said he is from Ever green, Colo., and in his mid-30s. The man is being held at the Lincoln city jail. He was charged with fleeing arrest, reckless driving, assault, improper reg istration and littering because he reportedly threw his helmet on the ground. "He tried to drive over a police officer," Bandars said. The man failed to stop for red lights or yield to pedestrians, Bandars said. "Pedestrians were trying to avoid him," he said. A road block of about five cruisers was set up at 16th and K streets to stop the man, and noon-hour traffic was temporarily halted. At the scene of the incident, passer bys, many of whom were on their lunch hours, stopped to watch the man circle the Capitol. A citizen told a Lincoln police officer about the man's reckless driving. Some one else reported that the man had been driving around the airport earlier, Bandars said. No charges were filed in that incident.
