OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha police have arrested the driver in a fiery fatal crash on suspicion of drunken driving.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska man has recovered his prosthetic arm after his family paid a $200 reward for its return.

Terry Fishell’s arm was stolen from his truck Saturday night. It was returned Wednesday after the reward was offered on several websites targeting central Nebraska communities.

Fishell says he’s grateful to have his prosthetic limb back. He lost his arm 21 years ago while working at a meat processing plant.

Now he works two jobs as a diesel mechanic at Grand Island Express and at a Pump and Pantry truck stop to provide for his family.

Fishell’s neice, Elizabeth Logue, says she paid the reward without asking questions to get the arm back. Logue says her uncle couldn’t work without it.

Officials have not yet released the names of the victims.

HASTINGS, Neb. (AP) — Police and wildlife officials are keeping a lookout in the south-central Nebraska city of Hastings after a family there reported a coyote bit and tried to drag away a 1-year-old child.

Hastings Police Sgt. Brian Hessler says the attack happened around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday while the family was watching July Fourth fireworks. The incident follows weeks of reported sightings of coyotes in the city.

A police report says the coyote left marks on the boy’s back but quickly ran off. Officers searched but did not find a coyote in the area.

Police say the family, which has hunted coyotes, is certain it was not a dog.

The boy’s mother, Katrina Clodfelter, tells station KSNB that the boy was given a tetanus shot and will undergo a series of rabies shots.
