A state trooper tried to pull over a 1987 Chevrolet pickup for speeding on NE-22, about five miles east of Monroe. The driver, Joseph Brian Braun, didn't stop and the trooper gave chase. Braun drove into a muddy cornfield about six miles northwest of Platte Center. According to police, the trooper's car got stuck in the mud and he was unable to follow when Braun's pickup drove past him on the county road. A short time later, the PCSO received a report of a pickup matching the description of Braun's other crashing into the Loup Canal. Braun was recovered from the water and was pronounced dead at the scene.
This record exists so that Joseph Brian Braun, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
