Douglas County Sheriff’s Deputies have made another arrest as part of Sheriff Aaron Hanson’s ongoing crackdown on street racing in Omaha.
According to a social media post on Monday morning, deputies arrested Antonio Grimaldo-Collins, stating that he “learned the hard way that driving recklessly and tearing up parking lots will land you in jail.”
Authorities are also investigating additional charges for other individuals involved in the incident.
This arrest is the latest in a series of efforts by Sheriff Hanson to combat illegal street racing. Since November, he has been impounding vehicles and seizing phones of suspected street racers.
Recent arrests related to the crackdown include:
- January: Jose F. Herrera was arrested for racing at speeds up to 70 mph in a 35 mph zone. Another driver involved remains at large.
- December 2024: Garet Stavos was arrested for high-speed racing near 168th Street and West Center Road.
- Late December: 18-year-old Gautam Gurung was sentenced to a week in jail for fleeing to avoid arrest after attending a street-racing meet-up near 120th and Blondo streets.
- New Year’s Eve: Deputies tracked down a black Chevy Camaro with dealer plates that had been involved in a previous street-racing incident, leading to another arrest.
