Police say a man they tried to stop for reckless driving fled from officers, but the police helicopter was able to track him until he was caught.

The Omaha Police Department says one man was taken into custody near 32nd and Decatur streets.  Investigators say he tried to run from his vehicle after driving it all over town to avoid police.

Officers tried to stop him near 24th and Sprague streets for reckless driving, but he refused to stop, according to police.
