Nebraska Burglary Suspect Found Under Pile of Clothes

lincoln-policeLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a Lincoln burglary suspect has been found under a pile of clothes.

Police say a woman called 911 just after 2:15 a.m. Sunday to report that a neighbor had told her about seeing a man inside her apartment.

Capt. Danny Reitan says officers found a broken window next to the apartment door and another upstairs. Officers went in and soon found a variety of electronic devices stacked next to the door and a man hiding under the pile of clothes.

The 30-year-old was arrested on suspicion of burglary. Online court records don’t show that he’s been charged yet.

Firefighters Rescue Great Dane from Eastern Nebraska Tree

firedptLOUISVILLE, Neb. (AP) — Firefighters have rescued a Great Dane from a tree in eastern Nebraska.

Owner Wes McGuirk says his 125-pound pet, Kora, probably ran up the tree Saturday in Louisville (LOO’-iss-vihl) in pursuit of a raccoon or squirrel after surmounting a 5-foot-tall fence. McGuirk says he found her on a limb about 20 feet up when he returned home from Omaha. His efforts to get her down failed, so he called for help from firefighters.

One of them slipped a leash and harness on Kora and nudged her off her perch. The harness stitching failed as she was being lowered, but she fell into a canvas tarp being held by firefighters.

She enthusiastically resumed her ground-bound life, apparently without injury.
