OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The director of the Douglas County Jail says officials will be looking at the jail’s policies and procedures following the death of a 61-year-old inmate with health problems who had been combative with corrections officers.

Director Mark Foxall said Wednesday at a news conference that officials will try to determine how best to identify risk in people booked into the Omaha facility.

Douglas County officials say Steven Claycamp died Tuesday evening at a hospital after a struggle with jail staffers when he tried to leave his cell. Staffers eventually placed him in restraint chair and gave him a sedative, then took him to a hospital when he became ill.

State law requires a grand jury investigation any time a person is dies in custody or while being arrested.

PAPILLION, Neb. (AP) — Sarpy County is seeking its first full-time director to manage the county jail.

The County Board on Tuesday approved a job description for the position to oversee the 148-bed facility in Papillion.

Officials hope to advertise the position in May, interviewing candidates in June and making a decision in July.

Candidates must have at least a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice or a related field and eight years of corrections experience, with at least five years in a leadership or senior management position.

County officials are also weighing whether to expand the current jail or build a new one at another location. The jail is consistently at capacity, forcing the county to pay to transport and house inmates in other facilities.

HARTINGTON, Neb. (AP) — A man accused of scalding a year-old infant has been given 10 to 14 years in a Nebraska prison.

Court records say 22-year-old River Malatare was sentenced Monday in Cedar County District Court in Hartington. He’d pleaded no contest to attempted intentional child abuse and guilty to an unrelated charge of failing to register as a sex offender.

The records say Malatare lived in Yankton, South Dakota, and had been staying with the child’s mother. He was baby-sitting the girl in March 2015 when she was scalded. He told a nurse at a Yankton hospital that he didn’t know the bath water he’d drawn was so hot.

South Dakota records say Malatare was convicted in 2014 of statutory rape of a teenager.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a 61-year-old Douglas County Jail inmate has died at a hospital after a struggle with jail staffers.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office says Steven Claycamp was combative when confronted around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday as he tried to leave a cell at the Omaha facility. Staffers eventually placed him in restraint chair and gave him a sedative.

The Sheriff’s Office says Claycamp was treated by medical staff when he became ill. Then he was taken to Creighton University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 6:15 p.m.

Sheriff Tim Dunning says Claycamp had a history of medical problems.

State law requires a grand jury investigation any time a person is dies in custody or while being arrested.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An assistant professor of biology at a college in central Omaha has embarked on an experiment to add a honeybee hive to the campus in order to promote education and appreciation for bees.

Amanda Roe brought the hive and a box containing about 5,000 bees and a queen to the College of St. Mary this month to not only demonstrate bee behavior, but to assist in lessons about plants, flowers and pollination.

Scientists have paid attention for over a decade to the declining bee population evidently caused by pesticides and other factors. Roe says she’s more concerned about the declining wild bee population than the honeybee population because humans can raise honeybees to bolster their numbers.

Roe hopes the hive will show that insects aren’t “gross and icky” creatures.
