LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska State Patrol seized more than $70,000 in a traffic stop along I-80 last week but let the driver go free.
Local media says troopers pulled the man over around 3 p.m. Friday near the Lincoln airport for following another vehicle too closely.
State Patrol spokeswoman says the 27-year-old California man driving agreed to let troopers search his 2001 Ford F350.
The cash was found in a sealed waterproof container in an external gas tank.
The driver swore that he didn’t know about the cash, so he was allowed to leave. Collins says that because the man said the cash wasn’t his, he won’t be able to challenge the seizure in court.
GERING, Neb. (AP) — A 24-year-old Minatare man has been sentenced to prison for possessing child pornography.
Richard Knott had pleaded no contest to 10 felony counts. Prosecutors say the pleas were not part of a deal with Knott, who earlier had pleaded not guilty.
Knott was sentenced on Monday to two to five years on each count, to be served at the same time.
Scotts Bluff County Attorney Doug Warner says more than 10 images of child pornography were found on Knott’s computer when investigators searched Knott’s home on Feb. 24.
Nebraska State Patrol officers began to investigate Knott after being contacted by a Dent County, Mo., investigator with a computer crimes task force. The investigator said he had identified an Internet address in Nebraska that had been sharing pornographic images.
Simply amazing…Not only is this man’s talent the ability to create epic burps that put frat houses in their place, but also the fact that a contest such as this actually exists! Tim Janus won the World Burping Championships in New York City where this video takes place.
This man in a press conference style gives birth to an 18.1 second legend that will have a longer life span that some living bacteria. Watch the video, but I warn you to notify others around you what you’re watching…otherwise you’ll get some weird looks.
Additionally I cant help but laugh to myself at some of the funny comments from the Youtube page of the video:
Koodiapina says “That sounds like zombie is making a press conference” and Greggfla says “lol at two people clapping in the background …“
WASHINGTON (AP) – Roger Clemens has been acquitted on all charges he obstructed and led to Congress in denying he used performance-enhancing drugs. Clemens was charged with two counts of perjury, three counts of making false statements and one count of obstructing Congress when he testified at a deposition and at a nationally televised hearing in February 2008. The charges centered on his repeated denials that he used steroids and human growth hormone during a 24-year career produced 354 victories.

BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) – The judge in the Jerry Sandusky molestation trial says the defense has about a day and a half left of testimony and that they could begin deliberations on the case as early as Thursday, a quicker schedule than had been expected. The defense called six witnesses yesterday, all of whom did little to directly counter the testimony last week by eight young men who accused the former Penn State assistant football coach of sexually abusing them when they were children. Former Penn State assistant Dick Anderson testified that he and other football staff members were present when Sandusky brought young boys into the team’s showers, but he said he never witnessed anything inappropriate.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — University of Nebraska-Lincoln officials say Chinese authorities have detained an assistant business professor who is a Chinese citizen.
University spokeswoman Kelly Bartling said Monday that a family member told school officials late last week that Weixing (WAY’-shing) Li was in Chinese custody. She said the university is trying to verify Li’s whereabouts, but doing so can be difficult.
Bartling said university officials don’t know why he was detained. She declined to identify the family member who notified them, saying the person had asked not to be named and did not want to speak with reporters.
Li has taught at UNL since 2003. Bartling said he was leading 18 students on an annual study-abroad program, and some students became concerned after he stopped returning their emails.
