Two people who were in a stolen vehicle are in custody after a confrontation with law enforcement Monday morning.

The incident happened around 7:45 a.m. near Blair High Road and 90th Street.

According to an Omaha Police tweet from the scene, eastbound Blair High was shut down at 92nd Street as a result of a crash linked to the incident.

At least one of the suspects ran and was captured moments after leaving the scene.

The suspects were traveling in a stolen truck when they crossed paths with deputies.

According to the Douglas County Sherriff's Office, a man and a woman were taken into custody. Deputies subdued the man with a TASER deployment. A medic was called to the scene to check him once he was in custody.

The woman was taken to the hospital for treatment of an injury related to the crash.
