NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (June 16, 2025) — A Wyoming man is facing multiple charges after leading law enforcement on a high-speed pursuit across Lincoln County early Monday morning.
Brandon Isaacson, 44, of Rock Springs, Wyoming, has been charged in Lincoln County Court with operating a motor vehicle to avoid arrest and criminal mischief. Additional charges may be pending.
According to an arrest affidavit, a Lincoln County Sheriff’s deputy clocked Isaacson’s black pickup truck traveling at 101 mph near Highway 30 and West County Road in Sutherland—at one point reaching that speed in a 40 mph zone.
The deputy initiated a traffic stop at Highway 30 and O’Fallon Road, but the vehicle sped away again, reaching speeds over 100 mph before turning onto Front Road.
The pursuit continued east, where Isaacson reportedly passed a semi and hit 80 mph at the Birdwood overpass between Hershey and North Platte. Authorities say he lost control navigating a curve and drove into a ditch between Front Road and Kovanda Road, near Bailey Yard in North Platte.
Isaacson allegedly knocked over a power pole and came to rest in a residential yard. He then fled on foot but was found hiding in tall grass and arrested.
