Former Norfolk man arrested in Omaha for fleeing Stanton County Authorities

You can run and hide, but sooner or later you have to answer for your actions. A former
Norfolk man is now in custody after fleeing Stanton County authorities back in August
following a vehicle pursuit and fleeing from the moving car. Shawnessy Sulley Jr., 21, was
arrested late Tuesday afternoon in Omaha by the Omaha Police Department on a felony
arrest warrant issued in Stanton County. The Sheriff’s office had been communicating
with the Omaha P.D. gang unit in recent days about possible locations Sulley may be
located. Sulley now faces four felony charges including assault on an officer, Possession of
Controlled Substance, Tampering with evidence and Operating a Motor Vehicle to Avoid
Arrest. He further faces a charge of Willful Reckless Driving from the incident that started
on August 17 th during a traffic stop on Hwy 275 East of Norfolk. He fled in the vehicle at
high speeds nearly striking a Deputy Sheriff and then drove off the roadway after his
vehicle became disabled and jumped out the passenger window of the moving car and was
able to evade capture at that time by fleeing into a heavily wooded area that was searched
for several hours by multiple law enforcement partners. Sulley is now scheduled to appear
in Stanton County Court later this month and is being held on a $250,000.00 bond.
