Man in custody for allegedly impersonating US Marshal – 6:30 PM

Authorities say a Nebraska man who was falsely identifying himself as a U.S. Marshal at various places in around Omaha has been arrested. The U.S. Marshals Service said in a news release that 55-year-old Jeffrey Ostdiek of Sarpy County was taken into custody Wednesday at a hotel in Omaha.

Ostdiek allegedly identified himself as a U.S. Marshal to the Sarpy County Sheriff’s Office and at a local spa where he asked for information on an employee.

He also allegedly went to another Omaha business and harassed employees for several days, claiming there was a federal case against the company.
