OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The CEO of Goodwill Omaha has resigned in the wake of an Omaha World-Herald investigation showing the charity’s top executives being paid more than Goodwills nationwide — a practice that drastically ate into funds for its job programs for the needy and disabled.

64-year-old Frank McGree announced Friday his resignation and plan to take early retirement. McGree had led the Omaha charity for 30 years. Goodwill’s board accepted his resignation Friday.

The newspaper’s investigation showed McGree received total compensation of $933,444 in 2014.

Also, 13 of the nonprofit’s executives were paid more than $100,000 in 2014, so a significant portion of the $4 million generated from Goodwill’s stores in eastern Nebraska and western Iowa went to administrative costs instead of its job-training programs.

BEATRICE, Neb. (AP) — Beatrice police say a man has died after falling out of a vehicle on a Beatrice city street in southeastern Nebraska.

Beatrice Police Sgt. Brian Carver said the man died Thursday when he fell from a vehicle making a turn and was apparently run over by the vehicle.

Neither the name of the man or the woman driving the vehicle has been released.

Carver says investigators are not sure how fast the vehicle was going when it was making the turn. The driver was not arrested, and Carver says the investigation is continuing.

An autopsy has been ordered.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Jurors have determined a former doctor should be eligible for the death penalty after they convicted him of killing four people with ties to an Omaha medical school.

The jury that convicted Anthony Garcia this week took only 30 minutes Friday to find aggravating factors in his crimes, including the heinous nature of the killings. Under Nebraska law, a three-judge panel must unanimously decide to impose the death sentence.

Garcia, of Terre Haute, Indiana, was convicted Wednesday of first-degree murder in the 2008 stabbing deaths of the 11-year-old son of a Creighton University medical school doctor and the family’s housekeeper, as well as the 2013 killings of another Creighton doctor and that doctor’s wife. Prosecutors say Garcia was motivated by revenge over being fired by the doctors in 2001.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities have pulled a body from a southwest Omaha lake.

Police say the body was discovered Friday morning in Zorinsky Lake by a person who then called 911.

Authorities say the body was found just off shore near the South 168th Street entrance and recovered around 9 a.m.

The person’s identity and other details, such as the cause of death, have not yet been released by officials.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Supreme Court has upheld the conviction and more than 100-year sentence of a man who killed his 2-year-old grandson.

Peter Draper, of Naponee, was convicted last year of intentional child abuse resulting in death and intentional child abuse resulting in serious injury. An autopsy concluded Joseph Rinehart Jr. died on April 30, 2012, of several injuries, including a perforated bowel, fractured skull and pelvis.

It was the second time Draper was convicted in the case, after the Nebraska Supreme Court ordered a new trial for him because prosecutors wrongly called his wife as a witness.

In its ruling Friday, the high court found no merit to Draper’s arguments that there insufficient evidence to convict him and that his sentences were excessive.

NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) — A woman in eastern Nebraska has been accused of creating a disturbance at a Wal-Mart that involved an employee injury and damage to a coin machine.

Police in Norfolk say 35-year-old Melinda M. Tyler of Bloomfield was at a local Wal-Mart early Friday when witnesses reported she was seen yelling and hitting a machine that collects coins.

A police report says Tyler at some point threw a glass pipe at a Wal-Mart employee. That caused a cut to the worker’s wrist.

Officers responding to the scene say Tyler appeared intoxicated and resisted arrest. She is accused of pulling her arms away from handcuffs and kicking two officers.

Tyler faces multiple charges including assault, possession of a controlled substance and disturbing the peace. Court records do not list an attorney.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Several Douglas County law enforcement unions have endorsed a judge despite the controversy about bail he set for a man who was released and later charged with drunken driving in a crash that killed a woman.

The Omaha Police Officers Association and the unions representing Douglas County sheriff’s deputies and corrections officers have endorsed Douglas County Judge Jeffrey Marcuzzo, who will be on the Nov. 8 ballot.

Opponents want Marcuzzo off of the bench or punished because they say the $50,000 bail he set for Eswin Mejia (meh-HEE’-uh) was too low. Police say Mejia, who was in the country illegally, collided with another vehicle while street racing in January, killing 21-year-old Sarah Root.

Mejia posted the required 10 percent of his bail and has been missing ever since.
