Nebraskan accused of growing pot next door
NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (AP) – A resident was surprised when he found six dozen marijuana plants growing in a windbreak near his rural home northeast of North Platte in south- central Nebraska. They weren’t his plants, Don Haws told the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Department on Saturday afternoon, when he reported his discovery. The North Platte Telegraph says sheriff’s investigators soon made another discovery: A sprinkler system and buried hose led them next door, to Haws’ neighbor Marco Vieyra. The 56-year-old Vieyra was arrested on suspicion of manufacturing marijuana. Vieyra remained in custody on Wednesday, pending $50,000 bail. Online court records don’t list his attorney.
Sex offender gets jail in Lincoln County
NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (AP) – A 26-year-old man has been given 60 days in jail for failing to properly register in Lincoln County as a sex offender.

Compton’s Return To Practice Bolsters Huskers Defense
The Nebraska defense got good news yesterday as middle linebacker Will Compton returned to practice. Compton injured his ankle in Saturday’s season-opening win over Chattanooga. Defensive coordinator Carl Pelini is optimistic that Compton will be able to play this Saturday against Fresno State, saying it will come down to how much Compton is able to tolerate the pain and work this week in practice. Pelini also spoke after practice about his expectations about the growth of his defense. “I’m very pleased with them, and how the young guys played last week,” Pelini said. “We expect them to be better. From your first game experience to your second game experience, we always feel as a team and an individual, that’s where you make your biggest stride. So you really expect week two to see huge improvements for all the young guys.” Nebraska allowed 230 total yards in their week one win.
Rox Score Seven In Eighth To Beat D-Backs
The Colorado Rockies used a seven-run eighth inning to rally past the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-3 in Denver last night, snapping a six-game losing streak against the NL West Division leaders. Troy Tulowitzki had the biggest blow in the rally, a three-run home run that put the Rockies in front for the first time in the game. Seth Smith had three hits, including two triples, and drove in a run in the eighth inning. Rookie Jordan Pacheco had two hits and two RBI in his major league debut, and Carlos Gonzalez and Dexter Fowler also drove in runs. Matt Belisle earned his 10th win of the season in relief, the second Rockies pitcher to reach that number this season. The Rockies and Diamondbacks play the rubber game of their series tonight at Coors Field. First pitch is scheduled for 7:40.
