(KNZA)--A Brown County traffic stop ended with the driver in the custody of the Department of Homeland Security.

That's according to a release from Brown County Sheriff John Merchant who says the driver, 39-year-old Lincoln, Nebraska resident Diego Juarez, was taken into custody following the stop, and booked into the Brown County Jail for driving while cancelled, restricted, or revoked.

That came after the deputy who stopped Juarez around 10:00 Friday night, on U.S. Highway 75 near 160th, found the driver "did not possess a valid drivers license."

It was while Juarez was in custody, Merchant says, that it was learned the DHS had a retainer for him, with Juarez, released to DHS custody the next morning.
