SANTEE, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say they’ve recovered the body of a man missing since he and his girlfriend accidentally drove off a cliff into the water near where the Missouri River flows into Lewis and Clark Lake in northeast Nebraska.

Boaters spotted the body of 39-year-old Arturo Rouillard on Wednesday, about 4 miles (7 kilometers) east of the Santee boat dock. The body was taken to shore by noon.

Authorities say Rouillard and 41-year-old Adrienne Denney had been night fishing when they were last seen early on May 5. It’s thought they were on an all-terrain vehicle when it plunged off the cliff. Denney’s body was recovered later that day.

The two lived in Santee.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The city of Omaha has agreed to pay $185,000 to a man who was injured when his vehicle was struck by a city worker who ran a red light.

The City Council unanimously approved the settlement Tuesday with Edward Hasenjager. His lawsuit says he was headed west one day in June 2015 when his vehicle was hit by a southbound vehicle that hadn’t halted for a red light.

Hasenjager’s lawsuit says the collision cost him the peripheral vision in his left eye. Documents say he’s had two eye surgeries and faces more.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A woman who helped her boyfriend dump his mother’s body will not be released on parole.

The Nebraska Parole Board denied parole for Gabriela Guevara. She was sentenced in 2016 to three to seven years in prison for her role in the death.

Guevara’s one-time boyfriend, Roberto Martinez-Marinero, is serving a life sentence for two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of his mother, 45-year-old Jesus Ismenia Marinero, and his 4-year-old half brother, Josue Ramirez-Marinero.

After killing his mother, Martinez-Marinero took her two youngest children in an attempt to eliminate witnesses. He dumped his then-11-month-old half brother in a La Vista trash bin. The child was found later, bruised but otherwise uninjured.

He threw the 4-year-old boy off a bridge to his death.

HASTINGS, Neb. (AP) – A Georgia company has moved its production of frozen beef patties to south-central Nebraska.

Flanders Provision Co. began operating Monday in the Hastings plant that’s been idle since Bubba Burger stopped operating there in 2013.

The City Council will be voting on Flanders’ request for $125,000 from Hastings Utilities’ economic development funds. Maggie Vaughan is interim director of the Hastings Economic Development Corp., and she says the company has committed in return to create at least 50 jobs and spend $3.75 million on plant upgrades. So far 32 people are employed.

Vaughan says Flanders is leaving its Waycross, Georgia, plant because it wanted to grow.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A 26-year-old Bellevue man has been given 15 years for producing child pornography.

Federal prosecutors say Nicholas Alford was sentenced Monday in U.S. District Court in Omaha. He must serve five years of supervised release after he leaves prison. He’d pleaded guilty in February.

Authorities say he persuaded a 13-year-old to send dozens of sexually explicit images to his instant messenger mobile app account.

RED CLOUD, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a man died when the tractor he was driving plummeted off a bridge and landed upside down in south-central Nebraska.

The accident occurred around 7:15 p.m. Friday near Red Cloud. Webster County Sheriff Troy Schmitz says the man was driving north on U.S. Highway 281 when the planter he was pulling ran up a guardrail and got hooked. That caused the tractor to spin into the side and flip over the rail onto dry ground below, landing on its cab.

Schmitz identified the tractor driver as 61-year-old David Mohlman, who lived in Red Cloud.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a driver was fired after an 11-year-old Grand Island student was found on a school bus at the bus yard.

The girl’s mother, Jennifer Lonowski, told The Grand Island Independent that she called the bus service company last week when her daughter Jada hadn’t arrived home and the bus was already 25 minutes late. Lonowski says she went to the bus yard and found her daughter in the bus, still buckled up in her seat. The driver told her the girl had fallen asleep, but Lonowski says she doesn’t believe that.

Lonowski says Jada has Rett syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder. Her mom says Jada is completely nonverbal but understand everything.

A co-owner of the Holiday Express bus company, Mick Brown, confirmed Monday that the driver had been fired.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A company that tracks robocalls says Lincoln experienced the biggest one-month jump of the cities studied nationwide in April: nearly 155 percent.

YouMail Robocall Index says robocalling volumes set a record for the second straight month as Americans received 3.36 billion calls in April. That’s 6.5 percent higher than in March and 34.4 percent higher than April last year.

A distant second to Lincoln was Southfield, Michigan, where call volume increased 85.4 percent.

The YouMail Robocall Index tracks the calls to iPhones, Androids and landlines. Its statistics are cited by the Federal Communications Commission for national data trends.

The company says the most common reason for robocalls nationally in April was debt collection. Student loan collection was the most common reason in Nebraska.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – Authorities say a 70-year-old man has died in an Omaha apartment fire.

Firefighters sent to the scene around 2:45 p.m. Saturday found that the fire had burned itself out because there wasn’t much oxygen in the apartment. The victim was found sitting upright. The fire appeared to have been started by smoking materials on a couch.

An autopsy was scheduled. The man’s name hasn’t been released.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – The Lincoln Homeless Coalition says the city’s homeless population has reduced by half since 2012.

Volunteers identified 451 homeless individuals in the coalition’s most recent point-in-time homelessness count. The number is down by 25 percent from last year.

The coalition also says 16 homeless individuals were veterans, which is a 70 percent decrease from 2017.

Lee Heflebower is the housing director at Region V Systems. She says the coalition is close to ending veteran homelessness as the result of a concerted effort with the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Jeff Chambers is director of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Center on Children, Families, and the Law. He attributes this year’s decrease to Lincoln agencies knowing who is the most vulnerable, coupled with rapid re-housing programs.
