SYRACUSE – A Plattsmouth man is charged with operating a motor vehicle to avoid arrest in Otoe County on Nov. 25.

Nolan Cherek, 20, is charged with a pursuit that ended in a corn field near County Road 28 south of Highway 2.

An arrest affidavit says Cherek and a passenger in the vehicle fled on foot. The passenger, identified in court records as Damon Honeysuckle, was apprehended at the scene.
