GIBBON, Neb. (AP) — A 35-year-old man accused in a fatal shooting outside a meatpacking plant in south-central Nebraska has changed his plea.

Angelo Bol, of Grand Island, entered a no-contest plea Friday to first-degree murder in the shooting death of 34-year-old Karel Perez-Almaguer on Dec. 15 in the parking lot of Gibbon Packing in Gibbon. He originally pleaded not guilty to the charge and a weapons count in February.

Bol’s new plea means he admits no guilt for the crimes but chose not to take the case to trial.

Prosecutors allege the two knew each other, and investigators say Bol targeted Perez-Almaguer.

A sentencing hearing is scheduled for June 26. A message left with Bol’s attorney Monday seeking comment on his client’s change of plea went unreturned.

They also learned the teen had ran from a Boys Town residence in Grand Island.

Officers conducted a search of the area, but were unable to locate the boy.

Then, at around 12:30 p.m., officers were notified by family members that the teen was at a residence in the 1800 block of West 15th Street.

Officers made contact with the teen and took him into custody.

He was transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center and jailed on charges of felony possession of stolen property and leaving the scene of an accident.

Police say the boy lived in North Platte before being placed in Grand Island.

Officers suspect the vehicle is a total loss.

Nebraska Prison Officials Name 2 Inmates Killed in Disturbance

TECUMSEH, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska corrections officials have identified the two inmates killed during a disturbance at a maximum security prison in the southeast corner of the state.

The state Department of Correctional Services says Donald Peacock and Shon Collins were found dead Monday as officials regained control of the Tecumseh State Correctional Institution. Both were 46.

Corrections Director Scott Frakes declined to release details of their deaths, which are being investigated. Frakes says it appears the men were killed by inmates.

Peacock and Collins were serving sentences for first-degree sexual assault of a child and visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct.

Peacock had been incarcerated since March 2014 and was serving a sentence of 40 to 50 years. Collins had been in prison since May, 2010 and was serving 66 to 80 years.

 

Tractor Safety Courses for Young Nebraska Farm Workers Offered

unl-extensionOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A series of two-day tractor safety courses will be offered across Nebraska later this month and next month for teenagers who are going to work on farms this summer.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension educator Sharry Nielsen says the most common cause of death in agricultural accidents in the state is from overturning tractors and all-terrain vehicles.

The courses are designed to teach teens how to operate farm equipment and how to use a “safety first” attitude.

The first day focuses on intense classroom instruction and a written test that students must pass to move on. The second day features driving tests and more hands-on instruction.

The course costs $60. Anyone interested in attending should contact their local UNL Extension office or contact Nielsen at 308-832-0645.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Nebraska and Iowa rank high on a list of states with what are described as some of the worst puppy mills.

A report from the Humane Society of the United States says Nebraska ranks third on “The Horrible Hundred 2015” list, with 14 of the breeders. Iowa ranks fourth with 11 breeders on the list. The list was led by Missouri, with 23, and Kansas, with 16.

The society says its list doesn’t include all of the worst breeders.

A puppy mill is described by the Humane Society as “an inhumane, commercial dog-breeding facility in which the health of the dogs is disregarded in order to maintain a low overhead and maximize profits.”

2 Inmates Dead After Nebraska Officials Regain Control of Prison

prisonTECUMSEH, Neb. (AP) — Two inmates were found dead at a maximum security prison in southeastern Nebraska after officers regained control of the facility.

The state Department of Correctional Services says inmates took control of at least part of the Tecumseh State Correctional Institution Sunday.

Staff members were attempting to break up a large gathering of inmates in front of a housing unit when the disturbance began Sunday, James Foster, a department spokesman, said in a statement.

Two staff members and two inmates were injured.

Foster said Monday that officers regained control of the facility that houses 11 death row inmates. The Nebraska State Patrol is investigating after two inmates were found dead.

There were no reports of any escapes.

Some Northwest Nebraska Schools Closed in Wake of Heavy Snow

snowstormCHADRON, Neb. (AP) — Some school districts have canceled classes and others have delayed the school day’s start after around 2 feet of snow fell in the northwest corner of Nebraska.

Art Hutcheon, of the National Weather Service in Cheyenne, Wyoming, said Monday the 2 feet fell in the area between Harrison and Chadron, starting Saturday and ending Sunday afternoon. Hutcheon says up to 15 inches of snow was reported in the Chadron area.

Six to 10 inches fell in the Scottsbluff area, which Hutcheon says easily eclipsed the May total average of about an inch over the past 30 years.

School was canceled in Hay Springs and Crawford on Monday, and late starts were planned for Chadron State College and schools in Rushville and Gordon.
