NELIGH, Neb. (AP) — The Antelope County Sheriff’s Office has issued arrest warrant charging two Nebraskans with cattle theft.

The warrants were issued for 27-year-old Benjamin Johnson, of St. Edward, and 22-year-old Rebecca Robbins, of Lyons. Both are accused of selling about $100,000 worth of cattle that didn’t belong to them from an Antelope County farm.

The livestock has since been returned.

Anyone with information where either Robbins or Johnson can be found is asked to contact the Antelope County Sheriff’s Office at 402-887-4224.

COLUMBUS, Neb. (AP)–Eastern Nebraska’s Platte County is considering levying a lodging tax to create a fund to improve local attractions.

The Platte County Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing Tuesday to discuss creating a 2 percent tax to be collected at hotels, motels and campgrounds in the county. The hearing will be held at the Platte County Courthouse.

If approved, the lodging taxes collected would be used to make improvements at county attractions. Such improvements were made with a similar, short-lived tax implemented about a decade ago. That money went to a new scoreboard at the Columbus Aquatic Center and wheelchair lifts at the Platte County and St. Michael’s historical museums.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A man who pleaded guilty to stealing a red-footed tortoise last year from the Lincoln Children’s Zoo has been sentenced to 180 days in jail.

25-year-old Michael Sullivan was sentenced Friday.

The tortoise named Captain Hook went missing in March 2013 from her enclosure. Zoo officials say they didn’t report her stolen or missing because they thought she would turn up.

But zoo officials say they received an anonymous tip in June that someone had stolen the tortoise and was keeping it as a pet.

A woman at the address where the tortoise was found said Sullivan showed up — covered in tortoise poop — around 3 a.m. one day and gave her daughter the tortoise as a present.

BEATRICE, Neb. (AP) — State health and environment officials have issued a health alert for toxic blue-green algae in Rockford Lake near Beatrice in southeastern Nebraska.

The alert was issued following tests on the lake’s water earlier this week. Signs have been posted at the lake urging people not to swim there.

Officials say the alert will continue for at least two more weeks. People can still use the lake’s public areas for camping, picnics and other outdoor activities.

Skin exposed to the toxin can develop rashes and blisters. Someone who drinks water containing the toxin is at risk for headaches, nausea and muscular pain.
