OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Douglas County prosecutors have charged a man with vehicular homicide in a hit-and-run crash that killed a pedestrian in Omaha last weekend. 

County Attorney Don Kleine on Tuesday charged 35-year-old Joseph Brosnihan with motor vehicle homicide while under the influence and leaving the scene of a personal injury accident.

He’s accused of hitting 26-year-old Ashley Rodriguez with his truck early Sunday. She died at the scene.

Kleine says Brosnihan, who surrendered to police, has a prior DUI conviction.

Brosnihan’s case isn’t on the online court system and it’s unclear if he has attorney. His initial court appearance is set for Wednesday.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A 30-year-old woman who repaid most of the money she stole from her employer in south-central Nebraska has been given six months of house arrest.

Christina Srack pleaded guilty in March to stealing over $100,000 from the State Bank of Riverdale between July 2007 and August 2008.

Local media says she was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Lincoln on Monday. She was also ordered to serve a day in federal custody, five years of probation and to pay $2,100 more.

The bank discovered the loss in 2008. Srack was indicted in 2011.

Prosecutors say she diverted most of the money from three customers’ accounts, forged three checks and made two unauthorized electronic payments. More than $99,000 was repaid within two weeks.

NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) — Organizers of a Nebraska airshow say a passenger injured during a hot air balloon ride is an elderly woman whose ankle was broken.

Air show spokesman Christopher Amundson said Tuesday the woman was in good condition. She was riding with another passenger and a pilot Sunday during the Nebraska Airfest and 2012 State Fly-in in Norfolk.

Amundson says the balloon was one of seven that lifted off at 6:30 a.m. Pilots and passengers reported light winds, and the balloons flew north into Pierce County.

Amundson says surface winds then increased to 14 mph, and the pilot began a controlled descent into a field. The balloon’s gondola tipped over when it touched the ground.

The pilot was uninjured, and the balloon was not damaged. The other passenger suffered abrasions.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Archdiocese of Omaha has released final details of a plan to shut down some schools and merge several parishes in east Omaha.

Local Media in Omaha says Archbishop George J. Lucas says the plan, called Promise 2020, is aimed at making sure young people have quality schools and faith-filled parishes for “years to come.”

The plan, released Tuesday, calls for closing three schools and placing five in a regional consortium. Students who currently attend one of the schools slated for closure will be able to attend a consortium school of their choice after the 2012-2013 school year.

The Archdiocese also announced plans to merge several parishes in east Omaha. The plan would reduce from 34 parishes to 26 over five years.
