Pacey Nicklen Caught
MADISON, NE -- A man who fled a court hearing and sparked a more than 20-hour search is behind bars.
Madison County Sheriff Todd Volk says 21-year-old Pacey Nicklen was arrested by deputies around 12:45 p.m. Friday. Nicklen has been booked into the Madison County Jail.
Authorities say Nicklen fled from the courthouse in Madison Thursday afternoon after having his bond revoked in drug court. He ran directly into a cornfield east of the courthouse and disappeared. Authorities set up a perimeter and used K-9's, a drone and cropdusters to look for Nicklen but to no avail. Residents in Madison were advised Thursday to lock their homes and vehicles.
Volk did not say where Nicklen was found or what new charges he faces.
