Chadron lockdown hasn't changed community CHADRON, NE (NET Radio) - Western Nebraska went on alert-mode last month when five escaped prisoners were spotted in the city of Chadron. The panhandle community was locked down at the request of law enforcement personnel and 12 hours later, the felons were apprehended. Chadron residents discuss whether the nationally publicized event has changed their views on living in what used to be considered a quiet college town. © Copyright 2012, NET Radio
