McCook Man Accused of Sexually Assaulting 2 Lincoln Girls

Adam Brunswick

A McCook man is in custody after police say he sexually assaulted two 15-year-old girls.

According to a news release from the Lincoln Police Department, 30-year-old Michael Brunswick has been charged with 1st degree sexual assault of a child and electronic child enticement.

Lincoln Police say Brunswick began communicating with the girls, who are from Lincoln, through the dating website meetme.com in 2013.

Police say that summer, Brunswick met with the girls at Ballard Park in Lincoln, where the girls allegedly performed sexual acts on Brunswick in exchange for cigarettes.

One of the girls eventually told her mother, who contacted police.

Nebraska law prohibits anyone over the age of 19 from having sex with anyone under the age of 16.

 

Letters to the Post: Regarding the New Addition to Downtown

No-Skateboarding-Sign-CaravDear Editor,

North Platte is a trend setter!  The rest of the country should look to us for guidance.  In fact the City Administration’s most recent action will make every town that is trying to encourage economic growth or redevelopment of an aging downtown blush.

What?  You didn’t notice the new signs on 5th Street?  Right in front of the skate shop?  A shop that caters primarily to the next generation.  A shop that is doing it’s best to contribute to the local economy, even if the local economy would prefer to drive to Kearney to shop.  A shop that provides kids somewhere to go after school as well as a healthy activity that keeps them from something far more sinister.

Well, in case you missed it, I’ve included a photo of the new sign.  It reads “NO SKATEBOARDS OR BICYCLES ON SIDEWALK”.

Now, I recognize that this regulation is a City law and is based on the importance of keeping pedestrians safe.  What I don’t understand (and what the citizens of North Platte should be asking the administration) is “Why was it important to spend tax payer money printing and posting a sign with the summary of a law that is written down in the City’s Code?.  We don’t hang signs up that say “NO SPEEDING” or “NO MURDER” or “RESIDENTS GRASS MUST BE MOWED”.  All of these City Laws are also included in our City’s Code and most people respect these laws as part of civilized society.  Additionally our police department can and does enforce them – because that’s their job.

As an educated population we do not deserve to be threatened with signs that are obviously placed to discriminate and harrass a local business.  We need to stand up and remind this Administration that the revitalization of downtown is imortant to us and that supporting small local business should be a priority for them.  If there is a conflict between businesses, as I suspect there is in this case, the administration should act as a mediator to resolve the conflict instead of choosing a side and placing a sign that reminds the youth of this community that they are not valued, not wanted, and that they should move out of town to someplace that supports their interests as soon as they are able.

Attendance Drops at Nebraska State Fair

state-fair-logo-2014GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — Actual rain and the threat of severe weather have been blamed for a drop in attendance at the Nebraska State Fair last week.

Heavy rain held down the Grand Island crowds at the beginning of the week, and then Sunday’s forecast may have kept people home. Sunday’s attendance was down 36 percent from last year’s final Sunday.

Threats of 2-inch hail, 70 mph wind and heavy rainfall on Sunday were topped by the forecast possibility of a tornado. Fair executive director Joe McDermott says it turned out that Grand Island had great weather on Sunday, but he thinks the forecast likely swayed people’s decisions about attending the fair.

 

Nebraska Priest Accused of Threats Gets Probation

gavel-moreGRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — A Roman Catholic priest who’d been accused of using a club to threaten his brother has been given two years of probation on reduced charges.

Court records say 53-year-old Michael Wetovick was sentenced on Tuesday in Grand Island. He originally was charged with felony terroristic threats, assault and use of a weapon. Wetovick pleaded no contest and was convicted on two misdemeanor charges. The weapons charge was dismissed.

Hall County authorities say that on June 16, 2013, Wetovick accused his brother of stealing from him, and a fight ensued. Authorities say the brothers have been involved in a long feud.

Wetovick is no longer listed on the parish website as associate pastor at Grand Island’s Blessed Sacrament Church. The diocese website lists several assignments for him in the Nebraska Panhandle.

Search Warrant Leads to Meth Charges for NP Residents

Several North Platte residents are in jail on felony drug charges following the execution of a search warrant on Tuesday.

At around 1:30 p.m., on September 2, officers from the North Platte Police Department served a search warrant on a residence in the 1200 block of West 11th Street.

According to Officer Rodney Brown, the home’s residents, 36-year-old Heath Foster and 31-year-old Chandra Olson, were believed to be involved in illicit drug activity.  Additionally, Foster was being sought for domestic violence, stemming from a call at the same residence on August 27.

Upon executing the warrant, officers located drug paraphernalia commonly found with methamphetamine, and small baggies containing meth residue.

Foster was a taken into custody on the domestic assault charge and felony possession of methamphetamine.  Olson was also arrested and charged with felony possession of methamphetamine.

According to Brown, 31-year-old Jason Sullivan, who was living in a camper behind the residence, was also found to be in possession of meth.  He was also charged with felony possession of methamphetamine.

The trio was transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center and jailed.

Double Mastectomy Doesn’t Boost Survival for Most

Medical-ChartCHICAGO (AP) — A big study says removing both breasts to treat cancer in just one doesn’t boost survival for most women. That’s compared with removing just the tumor plus radiation.

The results raise concerns about a riskier, potentially unnecessary operation that increasing numbers of women are choosing.

The study involved nearly 200,000 California patients followed for several years.

Ten-year survival rates were nearly identical — or roughly 82 percent — for lumpectomies plus radiation, and for double mastectomies. Women who had a single mastectomy, removal of just the cancerous breast, fared slightly worse.

Most women choose lumpectomy treatment. But double mastectomies have increased substantially in recent years, especially in younger women.

The study was published Tuesday in this week’s Journal of the American Medical Association.
