LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Lincoln police say investigators have spoken with a Texas teenager who was critically injured when she fell from a six-floor hotel window and don’t believe her fall was due to foul play.

18-year-old Brittany Turner, of Houston, was able to speak Monday with investigators. Police say the window Turner fell from was broken, but Capt. David Beggs wouldn’t release other details.

Turner was in Lincoln with other Houston high school students for the International Thespian Festival.

After falling from the window at the Embassy Suites in downtown Lincoln, she landed on a second-floor balcony.

Her mother, Lynn Hamilton, rushed to Lincoln to be with her daughter. She says Turner is an accomplished actor and plans to attend Howard University in Washington this fall.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska appeals court has ruled that an Iowa judge shouldn’t have decided a custody dispute involving two boys from Omaha, even though their mother now lives in Iowa.

The three-judge panel of the Nebraska Court of Appeals said Tuesday that a Douglas County judge in Omaha should determine the case.

Court records say Francis M. Zimmerman and Tiffany L. Biggs are the unwed parents of two boys who were born in Omaha, one in 2010 and the other in 2013. Biggs moved to Creston, Iowa, last year, and filed a domestic violence protection order against Zimmerman. An Iowa judge granted the order and awarded her temporary custody of both children.

Zimmerman sought custody in Douglas County, where a judge ruled the Iowa court had already decided the matter.

BLAIR, Neb. (AP) — The hail storm that hit Blair last month caused roughly $5 million damage to the Fort Calhoun nuclear power plant in eastern Nebraska.

The Omaha Public Power District says that damage estimate could still change because repair bids haven’t been received for some work.

The June 3 storm damaged homes and vehicles with baseball-sized hail and winds stronger than 90 mph.

OPPD spokesman Jeff Hanson says the storm didn’t disrupt the nuclear power plant’s operations.

But Hanson says the hail damaged the roof of the administration building, broke some windows and also damaged rooftop air conditioners and other equipment.

The storm also caused significant damage to utility vehicles that were parked at the complex.

OPPD has a $2.5 million deductible on its insurance policy the utility will have to pay.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha woman has been given five years of probation for her involvement in a fraudulent housing scheme involving an AIDS support group.

U.S. Attorney Deborah R. Gilg announced Tuesday that 35-year-old Tamika Payne, of Omaha, also must pay restitution of more than $141,000.

Gilg’s office says in a news release that Payne helped her friend and co-conspirator Jason Armstrong prepare fraudulent applications for federal housing assistance funding. Armstrong was a case manager for the Nebraska Aids Project, a group that provides services to people living with HIV and AIDS.

Gilg’s office says Payne and Armstrong split the money from the fraudulent benefits. Both were convicted of conspiracy to commit mail fraud. Armstrong was given two years in prison and ordered to pay restitution.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — The beloved giant canine ambassador at the Grand Island animal shelter has died.

Dubbed Angus T. Loner after his capture in December 2009, the gold and brown mastiff had to retire from his duties at the Central Nebraska Humane Society. He’d been diagnosed with wobbler syndrome, a neurologic disease that affected his legs.

His adopted mom, Laurie Dethloff, said Angus’ hind legs became so atrophied that he couldn’t walk. He was euthanized on Friday.

Angus evaded capture for around four years after being left outside a local meatpacking plant in 2005. After his capture, he was socialized and turned into the shelter’s mascot, greeting people as they arrived.

He was featured on Animal Planet’s “Dogs 101” television show in 2010.

FORT CALHOUN, Neb. (AP) — The celebration of Independence Day at an 1820s military post will be depicted during a Living History Weekend at Fort Atkinson State Historical Park on Saturday and Sunday.

Volunteers will celebrate in much the same way soldiers did 195 years ago. There will be a reading of the Declaration of Independence, as well as the firing of a cannon. Several period trades will be demonstrated, including blacksmithing, carpentry, tinsmithing and coopering, as well as crafts such as quilting, spinning and weaving.

Fort Atkinson sits on the east side of Fort Calhoun, which is situated 15 miles north of Omaha. A park entry permit is required for all vehicles and may be purchased at the park. Contact the park for more information at 402-468-5611 or ngpc.fort.atkinson@nebraska.gov.

WISNER, Neb. (AP) — The school board has decided to tear down the middle school building that was heavily damaged by a tornado that tore through Pilger (PIHL’-gur) on June 16.

The Wisner-Pilger board voted Monday night to buy three portable classrooms for the students and staff. The portables will be erected near the elementary school in Wisner, which is 12 miles east of Pilger. Classes are scheduled to begin on Aug. 14.

The storm killed a 5-year-old girl in Pilger and a 74-year-old motorist a few miles east of town. More than half of the town of 350 was heavily damaged or destroyed.
