Robert Honken has been bound over for trial on two charges of conspiracy to commit murder in Hamilton County.
The man prosecutors say Honken hired to kill his wife, Derrick Shirley of Bradshaw, is scheduled to be in court for a similar hearing on Tuesday.
Nebraska State Patrol Sgt. Ryan Phinney testified last week about the evidence against both men who were arrested last month.
Phinney says Honken tried to hire an undercover officer to kill his wife. And Shirley told investigators that he had been paid earlier this year to kill Honken’s wife but had backed out.
SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. (AP) — More than 150 marksmen from across the country are expected to visit western Nebraska later this month for a two-day shooting competition with some targets up to 1,400 yards away.
The competition will be one of the biggest events of its kind because few events focus on long-range shooting.
Most of the targets will be set up 400-to-800-yards away but some will be barely visible to the naked eye because of the distances involved. The competition will be held April 15-17.
This will be the third competition since Eli Grow and Travis Petersen met at a local gun show last year and started talking about long-range shooting. They formed Western Nebraska Precision Shooters to hold the events.
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska drivers will soon be able to help build a real-time map of road conditions through a new data-sharing program with the Department of Roads.
The department announced a partnership with navigation app Waze on Thursday.
The Waze Connected Citizens Program will allow drivers who are logged into the app to contribute traffic and road data anonymously while driving. Drivers can also share road reports, police traps and hazards. The Waze map evolves as it receives more data points from drivers, according to a news release.
The department will provide users with government-reported construction, road closure data and advance notice of major traffic events such as parades.
Department director Kyle Schneweis says the free app will help to ease congestion and inform infrastructure in the state.
