The Grand Island Police Department is actively searching for a suspect believed to be driving a flat, matte black Dodge Charger without license plates or in-transit tags. The vehicle is wanted in connection with a series of reckless driving incidents that occurred on Saturday, August 16, 2026. According to police reports, the incident began just after 1:00 a.m. when an officer attempted to initiate a traffic stop near the intersection of First and Eddy Streets. Officers observed the vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed and running through a stop sign. Due to safety concerns regarding the driver's behavior, the officer discontinued the stop. A case was subsequently opened for willful reckless driving, stop sign violation, traffic signal violation, speeding, and flight to avoid arrest. Later that same day, around 10:30 p.m., police spotted the same vehicle near Third and Madison Streets. Witnesses and officers reported that the driver accelerated to an estimated 100 miles per hour on Third Street between Broadwell and Eddy, passing vehicles in the opposing lane. The Grand Island Police Department is urging the public to remain vigilant and report any sightings of the described vehicle. The car is characterized as a flat, matte black Dodge Charger with no visible license plates. Authorities are asking anyone with information regarding the location of the vehicle or the driver to contact the Grand Island Police Department directly at 308-385-5400.
