(AP) — The CIA is acknowledging in the clearest terms yet the existence of Area 51, the top-secret Cold War test site that has been the subject of conspiracy theories for decades.

The recently declassified CIA documents have set Area 51 buffs abuzz, though there’s no mention of flying saucers, bug-eyed aliens or staged moon landings.

A CIA history released Thursday not only mentions Area 51 and describes some of the activities that took place there — but it places the site on a map.

George Washington University’s National Security Archive senior fellow Jeffrey Richelson says it’s not the first time the government has acknowledged the super secretive installation. Former President Bill Clinton acknowledged the “location near Groom Lake,” and other government references date back to the 1960s.

But those convinced “the truth is out there” are taking the document as a sign of loosening secrecy about the government’s activities in the Nevada desert.

Authorities have arrested two men in connection with a bank robbery in Beatrice.

The robbery occurred Friday morning at a Pinnacle Bank branch when two men slipped a teller a note demanding money.

According to witnesses, no weapons were ever displayed.

The suspects then left the bank, and about a half hour later Gage County deputies spotted the van they believed the suspects were driving on U.S. Highway 77.

Gage County Chief Deputy Sheriff Doug Klaus says deputies from Gage, Saline and Lancaster counties as well as Nebraska State Patrol troopers were involved in stopping the van.

They arrested 31-year-old Lucius L. Turner and 35-year-old Gilbert W. McCabe.

Authorities say charges are pending. It’s not clear whether the men have attorneys.

(AP) — A 20-year-old man has been sentenced to prison for the August 2011 shooting death of a 17-year-old girl who was sitting in a car near her home.

Douglas County District Judge Marlon Polk on Friday sentenced Tracey Wooten Jr. to 34 years in prison after he pleaded no contest to manslaughter in the death of Devina Johnson. He will serve about 17 years in prison before being eligible for release.

Prosecutors had initially charged Wooten with first-degree murder but reduced the charges after having difficulty with witnesses.

A second person in involved in the shooting, 23-year-old Tristian Rodriguez-Shelly, was sentenced on a weapons charge to 16 years in prison.

Prosecutors say Wooten and Rodriguez-Shelly were shooting at a rival gang member but hit Johnson. She died later at a hospital.

(AP) — Grand Island firefighters rescued a woman who injured herself while jumping onto a downtown building’s roof, and officers then gave her a citation.

22-year-old Alyssa Stark, of Grand Island, broke her leg early Friday after climbing a fire escape ladder with a man and then leaping from one part of a roof to another lower roof.

Firefighters used a ladder truck with a bucket attached to lower Stark to the ground on a backboard.

Police Capt. Dean Elliott says Stark was charged with trespassing and obstructing a police officer. Both charges are misdemeanors.

The man who also climbed the ladder was cited for trespassing.

(AP) — Relatives of a slain Lincoln man find solace when they think of the people helped by his organ donations.

Twenty-year-old Shane Walton died July 2 after being beaten three days earlier.

His grandmother Norma Burgess said she was proud of the good that came from his decision to be an organ donor.

But Burgess says she feels “such a pain in my heart” at his loss.

No arrests have been reported.

Burgess says it scares her that “people with that much rage are walking the streets.”

(AP) — A Lincoln man serving up to 35 years in prison for using a belt to beat his girlfriend and dubbed a “serial abuser” by his trial judge is suing arresting officers, the prosecutor and prison system.

Robert Clayborne pleaded no contest last year to assault and a weapons count. Authorities say he beat his girlfriend with a belt for two hours and threatened her with a knife.

Earlier this week, Clayborne sued in federal court, saying police violated his rights by forcing their way into his home without a warrant and arresting him without reading him his Miranda rights. He also accuses the Lancaster County Attorney’s Office of misconduct and claims the prison has not provided him with medication or mental health services to deal with a bipolar disorder.

(AP) — Authorities have released the name of a woman whose body was found in an open grave at an Omaha cemetery.

Omaha police identified her as 19-year-old Melissa Rodriguez, of Omaha. Her death is being investigated as a homicide. No arrests have been reported.

Officers were called to Graceland Park Cemetery around 10 a.m. on Thursday to investigate the discovery of the body. The cemetery was closed for the rest of the day, and a scheduled burial at the grave was postponed.

The graveside service was scheduled for 28-year-old Kevin McIntyre, who was shot and killed on Aug. 4. Authorities say they do not believe the McIntyre slaying is connected to the slaying of Rodriguez.

(AP) — A 37-year-old Beatrice man faces sentencing in October after being convicted of several felonies.

Authorities say Gary Kuhn made a plea deal with Gage County prosecutors, who dropped or reduced several charges in two cases. Court records say Kuhn pleaded no contest to four charges and guilty to another on Wednesday. His sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 9.

Records say Kuhn was arrested on Feb. 13 after biting and choking a woman. Children ages 3 and 4 were present but covered their eyes.

The records say Kuhn bonded out of jail and was arrested April 8 after a car crash that ended a police chase. Police say the car had been stolen and that officers suspected Kuhn had been driving while under the influence of drugs.

(AP) — Authorities say a 42-year-old Scotia (SOH’-shuh) woman died after her car rammed into a semitrailer in east-central Nebraska.

The Boone County Sheriff’s Office says the accident occurred about 10:15 a.m. Wednesday, about six miles west of St. Edward. The office says Jennifer Markvicka was driving east on Nebraska Highway 56 and didn’t halt at the stop sign controlling the intersection with Nebraska Highway 14. Her car hit the side of the southbound big rig.

She and the truck driver Billy Russell, of Omaha, were taken to Boone County Health Center. Authorities say Markvicka died of her injuries. Russell’s injuries weren’t believed to be life-threatening.

(AP) — Families, youths and religious leaders are asking Nebraska’s congressional delegation to support an attainable path to citizenship for parents who are in the United States illegally.

The group on Wednesday delivered children’s drawings, postcards and a banner to the office of U.S. Rep. Jeff Fortenberry in Lincoln. Members are holding similar events outside congressional offices in other parts of Nebraska.

Supporters of a path to citizenship say current U.S. law tears families apart in cases where a parent entered the country illegally, but has a child who is a U.S.-born citizen.

An estimated 4.5 million children who are U.S. citizens have a parent who is in the country illegally.
