NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) — Officials say a new oil and gas pipe manufacturing plant will bring at least 180 jobs to Norfolk.

CEO Charley Havens announced at a news conference Wednesday that OCT Pipe, of Rockwall, Texas, had chosen Norfolk over other locations.

The company expects to break ground soon on its investment of at least $125 million and begin operating in mid-2017. It intends to buy steel from the Nucor plant in Norfolk to make pipe for the oil and gas industry.

The company will be applying for tax incentives available through the Nebraska Advantage Act.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A 30-year-old man accused of raping a woman in a Lincoln alley has been sentenced to 20 to 35 years in prison.

James McWilliams was sentenced Wednesday. He had been found guilty of first-degree sexual assault of an incapacitated person.

Prosecutors say McWilliams had sex with a 21-year-old woman who was too intoxicated to consent in May 2014. Police say workers at a business saw the McWilliams and the victim walking down the alley and one of them called police, believing the woman looked incapacitated.

McWilliams has been ordered to register as a sex offender upon his release from prison.

FREMONT, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska prosecutor says more than 180 cases may have been jeopardized by results from an alcohol breath-testing device that hadn’t been calibrated to state standards for nearly three years.

Dodge County Attorney Oliver Glass said in a news release Wednesday that the individuals in those cases and their attorneys have been notified. They also were told that drunken driving can be proved by impairment, breath alcohol content or both. So, the news release says, the problem with the breath-testing device “does not automatically mean that the conviction would be overturned in a court of law.”

Glass says the device was used at the Sheriff’s Office in Fremont and was not properly calibrated between August 2012 and July 2015.

DENVER (AP) — As marijuana legalization matures, more Colorado pot businesses are donating cash and time to charities.

It’s a sign that the stigma of selling a drug that remains illegal under federal law may be fading.

It’s unknown how much money marijuana businesses have donated to nonprofits nationally and in Colorado.

But one business hosts an annual golf tournament to raise money for multiple sclerosis research. Another donates to a gay-rights advocacy group and is a sponsor of an AIDS walk.

Still, some nonprofits are wary of marijuana donations. The Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation has a policy of not accepting such donations because the drug is still illegal federally.
