WAVERLY, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a Nebraska man was walking around naked on Interstate 80 before damaging a passing vehicle.

The Nebraska State Patrol says 30-year-old Samson Wilcinot of Lincoln was arrested Monday on Interstate 80 near Waverly.

Troopers say they received a report Monday of a man walking on and off the interstate’s eastbound lanes. Wilcinot is accused of physically hitting a vehicle that slowed down to help him.

The driver of that vehicle pulled off the interstate into a weigh station area. The vehicle sustained more than $1,500 in damage.

Wilcinot was cited on suspicion of felony criminal mischief and ticketed for public indecency and being a pedestrian on the interstate. Court records do not list an attorney.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A Missouri man has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for taking a developmentally delayed girl from Massachusetts to a motel in Rhode Island, where he sold her for sex.

Stephen Ardrey, of Springfield, Missouri, was sentenced in federal court in Rhode Island on Tuesday and apologized to the 17-year-old girl and her family. He previously pleaded guilty to trafficking a minor and transporting a minor to engage in sex.

The teen’s mother says her daughter suffers from nightmares and couldn’t attend the sentencing because of anxiety.

Prosecutors say Ardrey met the girl online and corresponded with her before taking her in September from a library in Medfield, Massachusetts, to a motel in West Greenwich, Rhode Island. They say he engaged in sexual activity with her then sold her.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Kansas City, Kansas, officials say a contractor for BNSF Railway died after falling into a train car full of grain.

Fire department officials say 48-year-old James Breedlove died in the accident Monday at railroad yards in Kansas City, Kansas. Authorities did not release his hometown.

Fire department deputy chief Craig Duke says Breedlove fell into the train car while grain was being transferred from the car to a semitrailer.

When firefighters arrived, rail crews were trying to remove the grain from the train car. They found Breedlove’s body near the bottom of the car.

No other injuries were reported.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska opponents of the Keystone XL pipeline will participate in a walk across the nation to draw attention to climate change.

Dozens of Nebraskans are expected to join the Great March for Climate Action on Saturday for a portion of the 3,000-mile walk from Los Angeles to Washington. The group’s destination for the day is the renewable energy barn built by Bold Nebraska on the pipeline’s proposed route.

Speakers will include Democratic U.S. Senate hopeful Dave Domina, Bold Nebraska director Jane Kleeb and Julia Trigg Crawford, a Texas landowner who fought an eminent domain claim for the pipeline on her land.

The 10-mile walk will start at 9 a.m. at St. John’s Church in Marquette. A separate mile-long walk will start at 1 p.m. near the barn northwest of York.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A federal appeals court has reversed the lone conviction against a Lincoln woman accused of helping smuggle cigarettes from Vietnam.

In an opinion Tuesday, a three-judge panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said federal prosecutors did not present sufficient evidence to show that Tang “Janny” Nguyen knowingly trafficked in contraband cigarettes.

Nguyen was one of five Lincoln people accused in the scheme. Prosecutors said the group had more than 10,000 cigarettes shipped to homes in Lincoln and Nebraska City, and then resold them without paying state and federal taxes.

In 2012, a jury found that Nguyen wasn’t actively involved in the operation, but had possessed contraband cigarettes.

Nguyen’s argued that Nguyen didn’t know it was illegal to get cigarettes from Vietnam and didn’t intend to defraud anyone.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Lancaster County Board of Commissioners is considering paying $75,000 to settle a lawsuit filed over the suicide of a 16-year-old in county custody.

The settlement is scheduled to be reviewed by commissioners at Tuesday’s meeting.

The lawsuit was filed by the father of Jonathan Kennedy. The boy hanged himself in the county’s Youth Services Center on Feb. 26, 2012, and died later at a Lincoln hospital.

The lawsuit argues that staffers should have realized the boy had mental problems and should have more effectively supervised him. He had been a state ward since April 2011 and had been sent to the center because of drug usage and self-harming behavior.
