No Wrongdoing Found in Death of Peru Man
(AP)-- A Gage County grand jury has found no wrongdoing on the part of officers involved the crash death of a 44-year-old Peru man.
The grand jury convened Tuesday morning. State law says a grand jury must look into every case in which a person dies while being chased or arrested or dies in custody.
Beatrice police say they first received a call about a car weaving in and out of traffic around 1 p.m. on Aug. 24. The car took off when officers tried to pull it over.
The chase ended about five miles south of the city when the car plunged off a bridge and flipped onto its top, killing Jerry Wissler. Wissler was alone in the car.
