A body found in an Omaha neighborhood has been identified as a man who formerly lived in North Platte.

A woman was walking her dog Wednesday morning near 36th and Seward Streets, when she discovered the body.

Omaha Police said the woman discovered the body just before 7:00 a.m. in an alley on the southwest corner of J.A. Creighton Boulevard and Seward Street.

The body was positively identified as 34-year-old Kyle Vogt, who police say lived in the neighborhood.

Officer Michael Pecha said that the cause of death has not been determined, and an autopsy will be performed.

Police do not suspect foul play.

Vogt is a 1997 graduate of North Platte High School and is survived by a young daughter.

 

If there’s one place you don’t expect to see reality TV stars, it has got to be the Lincoln County Detention Center.  But, that’s exactly where you could have met two of them.

Two brothers, Thomas “Ty” Emanuel and David “Ceasar” Emanuel, stars of the VH1 reality show “Black Ink Crew,” were pulled over by a Nebraska State Trooper just west of North Platte Tuesday morning, as they were on their way home from a weekend of celebration in Denver.

As the Trooper investigated, he learned that Thomas Emanuel was wanted for a parole violation in New York.  Additionally, Ceasar was found to be in possession of hashish and was driving on a suspended license.

The brothers were jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center.  According to jail records, Ceasar bailed out, but Ty remains in jail as he awaits extradition to New York.

“Black Ink Crew” chronicles the daily operations and staff drama at a tattoo shop in Harlem, New York, which is owned by Cesar.

The show has aired for two seasons.

(AP) — A Scottsbluff man has agreed to a plea deal in connection to a high-speed chase last month.

23-year-old Alejandro Paramo entered a no contest plea Wednesday to multiple charges, including operating a motor vehicle to avoid arrest.

Paramo was arrested March 19 following a high-speed chase. He is accused of accelerating to speeds exceeding 100 mph. The chase ended when Paramo lost control and rolled his vehicle.

Police say they found weapons and methamphetamine at the scene of the accident.

Paramo is scheduled to be sentenced in early June.

STRATTON, Neb. (AP) — Officials say a fire destroyed part of the former Flame bar in the southwestern Nebraska community of Stratton.

Stratton Fire Chief Earl Denio said the fire broke out Monday evening in a building that had housed the Flame. The building hadn’t been used recently, and Denio says it was in disrepair.

Firefighters had to pull down bricks in the front of the building the reach the fire.

Denio says it’s unclear what caused the fire or how much damaged it caused. He says the rest of the building will need to be demolished.
