(AP) — An inmate is suing Nebraska’s corrections agency over the confiscation of pencil drawings that depict nudity and sex acts.

Christopher Payne filed a lawsuit last month in Lancaster County District Court against the state Department of Correctional Services. He claims officials at Tecumseh State Correctional Institution violated his constitutional rights by taking 11 pencil drawings from his cell between October and January.

34-year-old Payne says he thought his drawings were a legitimate form of artistic expression.

The corrections agency’s policy on hobbies bans artwork depicting nudity, sex acts, violence, bondage, sadomasochism, bestiality and acts of degradation.

The newspaper reports that corrections officials did not respond to a request for comment on the policy.

(AP) — The International Space Station has a radiator leak in its power system. The outpost’s commander calls the situation serious, but not life-threatening.

The six-member crew on Thursday noticed white flakes of ammonia leaking out of the station. Ammonia runs through multiple radiator loops to cool the station’s power system. NASA said the leak is increasing from one previously leaking loop that can be bypassed if needed. NASA spokesman Bob Jacobs said engineers are working on rerouting electronics just in case the loop shuts down. The Earth-orbiting station has backup systems.

Space station Commander Chris Hadfield of Canada tweeted that the problem, while serious, was stabilized. Officials will know more Friday.

The space station always has enough emergency escape ships for the crew, but there are no plans to use them.

An Iowa man who illegally made and sold fireworks and explosive devices has been sentenced to 46 months in prison.

U.S. District Judge John Jarvey approved the sentence Wednesday for 31-year-old Rodney Crosby of Pisgah, in western Iowa.

The sentence had been recommended under a plea agreement in which Crosby admitted guilt to being a felon in possession of firearms and explosive devices.

Investigators were called to Crosby’s home in 2011 during a domestic disturbance, and they found a cache of guns, ammunition, home-made explosive devices and commercial fireworks. Crosby told agents that he made good money manufacturing and selling fireworks, including some so powerful they could take down wooden utility poles.

Crosby had earlier been convicted of felonies for theft and insurance fraud in Nebraska, where he grew up.

(AP) — A 28-year-old York man has been given three years of probation for using a stolen gas credit card.

At his sentencing earlier this week, Joseph Stoll also was ordered to pay restitution of nearly $900 to United Farmers Cooperative.

Court records say Stoll had pleaded no contest to unauthorized use of a financial transaction device. Prosecutors dropped a conspiracy charge in exchange for Stoll’s plea.

Prosecutors say the card was stolen from United Farmers Cooperative in May or before and used by Stoll and others.

Authorities say a plastic surgeon in Miami attacked his girlfriend for several hours over a Facebook posting, forcing her head into a toilet and stuffing a rag in the woman’s mouth at one point.

Police say 41-year-old Orlando Llorente was charged Wednesday with kidnapping and attempted murder.

According to police, Llorente grabbed the 36-year-old woman by the hair on April 21, took her into the bathroom and stuck her head in the toilet. Authorities say he also forced her into the bathtub, stuffed a rag in her mouth and poured water over her face.

Police didn’t say what was in the Facebook posting.

Llorente’s attorney, Marcos Beaton, told several Miami TV stations that his client surrendered voluntarily to police and wants to clear his name. He says the allegations against Llorente are false.
