GERING, Neb. (AP) — A 21-year-old western Nebraska man has been given two to four years in prison for procuring alcohol for a teenage girl who died in a crash last May.

Online court records say Chris Miller, of Mitchell, was sentenced on Friday and credited with 46 days already served. He’d pleaded no contest after prosecutors dismissed unrelated drug charges against him and dropped plans to revoke his probation.

Authorities say Miller had provided the alcohol that he and 17-year-old Salena Cochrane had been drinking before they left his house in her vehicle. Cochrane, who was driving, was not wearing a seat belt and was partially thrown from the vehicle when it crashed northeast of Mitchell on May 27.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska senator hopes to win a decades-old debate with a familiar bill that would let motorcyclists ride without a helmet.

Lawmakers heard public testimony Monday on the proposal to repeal Nebraska’s 1989 mandatory helmet law.

Sen. Dave Bloomfield of Hoskins says he introduced the bill because the state should let motorcyclists decide. The law’s opponents say Nebraska loses millions of dollars in revenue from bikers who avoid Nebraska.

Advocates say helmet usage has consistently been shown to reduce fatalities.

The National Transportation Safety Board says more than 80 people died in motorcycle accidents in Nebraska between 2009 and 2013.

Last year a version of the bill that would have exempted riders older than 21 from the helmet law was blocked by a filibuster.

NEW YORK (AP) — Health officials say the number of measles cases in the nation is up to 121 so far this year.

All but 18 of the cases are tied to an outbreak that started at the Disneyland amusement park in California.

Until recently, it was unusual to see more than 100 cases a year in the United States. Measles are most commonly seen in winter and early spring, brought in by foreign visitors or by U.S. residents who pick up the highly contagious virus overseas.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the numbers Monday, adding 19 cases to the 102 reported as of last week.

Measles causes a fever, runny nose, cough and rash all over the body. In rare cases, it can be deadly.

DETROIT (AP) — New figures show at least 52 people have died and 79 have been injured in crashes involving General Motors cars with defective ignition switches.

Attorney Kenneth Feinberg, who was hired by GM to compensate victims, updated the totals Monday.

Feinberg says on an Internet site that he has received 4,237 claims for payments from GM as of Friday. The fund has deemed 131 as eligible, and 501 are not eligible.

GM knew about faulty switches in Chevrolet Cobalts and other small cars for more than a decade but didn’t recall them until February. The switches can slip out of the “on” position and cause cars to stall unexpectedly.

The fund stopped taking claims on Jan. 31, but some that were postmarked by the deadline arrived last week.

Three people have been charged following an altercation in North Platte over the weekend.

At around 5:50 a.m., on February 8, officers from the North Platte Police department responded to a residence in the 300 block of South Walnut Street, on the report of a physical fight between multiple subjects.

Officers arrived and met with a 30-year-old male, who alleged that 47-year-old Roberto Benetiz-Cedillo, 46-year-old Jacqueline Benetiz-Cedillo and another man came to his home and began assaulting him.

According to the victim, 20-year-old Jacob Iyotte, of Saint Francis, South Dakota, was also present, and was also assaulted by the trio.

Officer Rodney Brown said the threesome may have been upset about an earlier altercation.

The victim went on to say that, during the altercation, he and Iyotte were punched and struck multiple times with a pool cue, which officers later recovered in Roberto’s car.

Another victim, an 18-year-old female, alleged that as she attempted to get out of a vehicle and leave, Iyotte reached through an open window and stabbed her in the arm with a “four-finger knuckleduster,” which is essentially brass knuckles with three blades that run perpendicular to the handle.

Following further investigation, Roberto Benetiz-Cedillo was charged with felony 2nd degree assault, Jacqueline Benetiz-Cedillo was charged with 3rd degree assault, and Iyotte was charged with felony 2nd degree assault and use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony.

 

An Arizona man has been charged after he allegedly sexually assaulted a 17-year-old girl, in North Platte.

At around 8:00 p.m., on February 6, an officer with the North Platte Police Department responded to a residence in the 2100 block of East D Street, on the report of a possible sexual assault.

A 17-year-old female alleged that 57-year-old Arlen Bohnas, a registered sex offender from Arizona, had fondled her breasts and made inappropriate sexual remarks towards her.

The victim said the assault had taken place the day before, but said she had to wait until Bohnas was gone before she reported it to police.

An investigator met with Bohnas and, following further investigation, determined that there was probable cause to arrest him and charge him with 3rd degree sexual assault and child abuse.

According to Officer Rodney Brown, the victim and her siblings, ages 12 and 7, were placed with family in Arizona.

Bohnas was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center.

KEARNEY, Neb. (AP) — A snowdrift helped deflect 10-foot flames from a wildfire that menaced a home about three miles northwest of Kearney.

The fire was reported just after 2 p.m. Sunday after an ember escaped from a burn barrel and ignited dried plants in a pasture. The fire eventually blackened around 100 acres, but no injuries have been reported.

Besides help from the snowdrift, firefighters were aided by their specially equipped four-wheel-drive grass rigs, moving rapidly to keep the flames from reaching the home and others in the area.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska farmers, growers and researchers will gather in three locations in February for updates on more than 75 collaborative projects facilitated by the Nebraska On-Farm Research Network.

The seminars will be held 9:30 a.m. through 3:30 p.m. on Friday on the College Park Campus in Grand Island; Feb. 16 on the Northeast Community College campus in Norfolk; and Feb. 17 at the University of Nebraska’s Agricultural Research and Development Center near Mead.

The On-Farm Research Network, a University of Nebraska extension program, pairs farmers and university faculty to solve issues in production, profitability and natural resources. The projects take place in growers’ fields, using their equipment.

The free seminars will present results from the 2014 growing season. Contact christina.franklin@unl.edu to register.
