NORFOLK, Neb. -- A northeast Nebraska man accused of shoplifting was arrested on a felony weapon charge Sunday morning.

Shortly before 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, Norfolk Police were called to a business in the 1000 block of S. 13th Street for a report of shoplifting.

The reporting party provided a description of the suspect and the vehicle in which he reportedly fled.

Officers located the suspect vehicle and conducted a traffic stop, making contact with 35-year-old Adam Fuerhoff of Pierce.

NPD reportedly recovered the stolen bottle of alcohol, in addition to a knife with an eight-inch blade, marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

A check of Fuerhoff’s record showed that he was prohibited from possessing the weapon due to past criminal convictions.

Fuerhoff was arrested for possession of a deadly weapon by a prohibited person. He was also cited for shoplifting, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was housed in the Norfolk City Jail and later transferred to the Madison County Jail.
