A man from Nebraska failed to avoid arrest despite his efforts to fake his identity to police, because he was wearing his real name around his neck on a badge, according to authorities.
Lincoln Police Department officers were looking for 26-year-old Markel Towner after responding to a domestic assault call in Lincoln shortly after 10:30 p.m. on May 21. Officers noticed a man that matched Towner’s description sitting in a parked car outside the property they were responding to, according to a police statement.
