OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A man has been sentenced to spend at least 15 years in prison for his role in a fatal collision that killed one man.

39-year-old Davis Hadi was convicted on Monday of drunken driving and motor vehicle homicide.

Sixty-year-old Carl Gauff was driving west on L Street in Omaha on March 13 when Hadi’s SUV hit him head-on. Gauff later died at a hospital.

Police say Hadi’s blood-alcohol level was four times the legal limit at the time of the accident.

Hadi didn’t address the court during sentencing, but his lawyer said he showed remorse by agreeing to a plea deal instead of putting the Gauff family through a trial.

Hadi must serve 15 years in prison before he is eligible for parole and must be released after 25 years.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A judge has ruled in favor of a meat company accused of mistreatment of Somali Muslim workers.

The judge ruled in U.S. District Court in Omaha last week that she found no evidence of a discriminatory motive on the part of JBS Swift, now known as JBS USA.

The lawsuit was filed in August 2010 by the federal Equal Opportunity Employment Commission on behalf of more than 80 Somali Muslims. It said JBS failed to make reasonable religious accommodations at its Grand Island plant, violating the workers’ civil rights since at least December 2007.

A JBS official had told the workers he believed the prayer time requests violated some requirements of the employees’ collective bargaining agreement.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Lincoln Police Department is trying to determine before a new year rolls around whether its police officers will be required to wear body cameras.

Police Chief Jeff Bliemeister said he’s a firm advocate of the technology. But he says it’s expensive to implement and maintain.

He says it would cost his department about $500,000 to outfit ever officer with a body camera. He says maintenance costs would add another $250,000 a year.

The city is seeking public comment in crafting a policy that would dictate how the cameras are worn, when they are activated, and whether officers are free to use and purchase their own cameras.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A five-year transportation plan for Lincoln and Lancaster County aims to handle growing traffic by helping vehicles move through intersections more efficiently, eliminating the need for streets to widen.

The new direction is part of the proposed Long Range Transportation Plan.

A half dozen streets previously considered candidates for future major widening projects are now on a different list of streets the city plans to study to look for ways to improve traffic without widening.

City planners predict that traffic on city streets will increase from about 6 million vehicle miles traveled per day in 2015 to close to 9 million vehicle miles traveled in 2040.

Planning director David Cary says the corridor studies will include looking at using smarter traffic signals and physical improvements at intersections.
