OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A retired Omaha fire captain found guilty earlier this year of sexually assaulting three young girls, including two foster children, has been sentenced to at least 15 years in prison.

60-year-old Lee Dunbar was sentenced Friday to 15-16 years on each of all five counts of first-degree child sexual assault. The judge ordered the sentences served at the same time.

Prosecutors have said all of the victims were under the age of 12 when they were assaulted by Dunbar at his home. The foster children were 8 and 9 when they were assaulted.

They testified during the trial that Dunbar would assault them repeatedly as they watched movies in his bedroom.

Dunbar had faced up to life in prison.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An appeal by an Omaha man convicted of killing a longtime family friend has resulted in a stiffer — not lighter — prison sentence.

Matthew Kidder was convicted in 2016 of first-degree murder and use of a deadly weapon in the death of 28-year-old Jessyka Nelson, who had been raped and strangled in her home on June 25, 2015. Kidder was sentenced to life in prison. He was also initially sentenced to 50 years for the weapon count, but a judge modified it to 20 years after being told 50 years was outside the range allowed by law.

On Friday, the Nebraska Supreme Court upheld Kidder’s convictions and life sentence, but ordered the trial court to reinstate its original 50-year sentence, saying Nebraska law does allow up to 50 years and “thus, the court’s initial pronouncement … was valid.”

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha police say an officer fired his gun three times as he was briefly dragged by a car he had stopped on U.S. Highway 75.

The account comes a day after Officer David Staskiewicz, as part of a police sting operation, stopped 21-year-old Micah Taylor on the highway.

Police say the 49-year-old Staskiewicz ordered Taylor out of the car, and Taylor refused. Police say when Staskiewicz opened Taylor’s door and tried to remove him, a struggle ensued. Staskiewicz pulled his gun and Taylor drove off, dragging the officer. Police say Staskiewicz then fired three shots, hitting Taylor once in the neck.

Taylor soon crashed and was taken to a hospital with injuries not believed to be life-threatening. Police say he’ll be charged with assaulting an officer and other counts when he’s released from the hospital.

Staskiewicz was treated at a hospital for injuries caused by being dragged.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Sheriff’s deputies in eastern Nebraska say they have seized methamphetamine, opioids and marijuana in two separate traffic stops along Interstate 80 in Omaha.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office says the first stop around 12:30 a.m. Wednesday led to a search of the stopped car that turned up three pounds of meth and three packages of prescription fentanyl. Two people in the car were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to deliver and having no drug tax stamp.

Early Thursday morning, a deputy stopped another car, which was found to contain two suitcases holding 20 vacuum sealed bags of marijuana totaling 22 pounds. Deputies say they also found 20 grams of suspected meth and 62 grams of hash. That driver, too, was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to deliver and having no drug tax stamp.
