LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Lincoln man who was drunk when he hit and badly injured a bicyclist then tried to walk away, has been sentenced to three years in prison.

26-year-old Shane Heinen was sentenced last week after pleading no contest to DUI causing serious bodily injury and leaving the scene of an injury accident.

Police say Heinen ran a red light at a Lincoln intersection the night of Sept. 21, hitting Joe Billesbach, a Beatrice city councilman. The crash left Billesbach with a broken leg and four broken ribs. Police say officers stopped Heinen as he tried to walk away from the crash. Heinen’s blood alcohol content tested at .117 — well over the .08 legal limit to drive.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Chicken salad made by an Iowa food processing company and distributed by Fareway Stores in the Midwest sickened 265 people in eight states and caused one death in Iowa from salmonella contamination, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.

The outbreak which sickened people from Jan. 8 through March 20, appears to have ended, the CDC said in an update posted on Friday. Ill people ranged in age from less than 1 year to 89 years. Sixty-seven percent were female.

The contaminated food left some people with serious illnesses said Seattle food safety attorney Bill Marler. He and Iowa attorney Steve Wandro represent 48 people filing lawsuits against Triple T Specialty Meats of Ackley, Iowa, which made the chicken salad and Fareway Stores, a Boone, Iowa-based grocery chain that distributed the food under its store brand name.

Out of the 265 illnesses, 94 people were hospitalized, a high number for such an outbreak Marler said.

“There’s a woman in Nebraska who was in ICU for a week and a gentleman in Iowa who has lost his large intestine. He’s now facing another surgery in a month or two to try to reconnect that. So there are obviously some pretty significantly sick people,” Marler said.

Wandro said several of those sickened are in their 70s or 80s with weakened immune systems who have had to go to skilled care facilities for several weeks to recover.

Triple T Specialty Meats spokesman Dave Dutton said the company isn’t commenting.

“We’re still receiving information and we want to make sure we have all that information before we make any public comments,” said Dutton, a lawyer from Waterloo, Iowa.

Asked if the company has determined the source of the salmonella contamination he said, “that’s the job of testing companies and we haven’t seen all the reports as yet.”

Salmonella infection usually occurs when a person eats food contaminated with the feces of animals or humans carrying the bacteria.

“On behalf of everyone at Fareway, our sympathy goes out to the affected families, and we are working diligently to resolve this matter,” Fareway CEO Reynolds Cramer said in a statement.

The company is working with state and federal agencies on the investigation and hasn’t carried Triple T Specialty Meats’ chicken salad since it was pulled from the shelves and will not carry this product moving forward, he said.

Lawsuits already on file in federal court in Des Moines allege product liability violations for distributing defective food and negligence for failing to ensure the food distributed was safe to eat. They seek money to compensate the victims for “general, special, incidental and consequential damages incurred” and attorney fees.

The illnesses hit Iowa hardest with 240 sickened and one dead, the CDC said. Illinois reported 10 cases, Nebraska had five, Minnesota had four and South Dakota had three illnesses. Indiana, Mississippi, and Wisconsin each reported one case linked to the chicken salad.

Iowa Department of Public Health spokeswoman Polly Carver-Kimm said a woman in eastern Iowa died from the same strain of salmonella identified in the chicken salad outbreak but she stopped short of attributing it to the chicken salad since the woman wasn’t interviewed about what she ate before she died.

CDC spokeswoman Brittany Behm confirmed Monday the Iowa woman died of the outbreak strain which meets the agency’s criteria for inclusion in the outbreak statistics.

On Feb. 9, Fareway stopped selling chicken salad in all of its stores after the Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals contacted the company about illnesses. Iowa public health officials issued a consumer advisory on Feb. 13 warning that chicken salad sold at Fareway may be contaminated with Salmonella. Eight days later Triple T Specialty Meats recalled more than 20,000 pounds of chicken salad after samples from two Fareway grocery stores in Iowa tested positive for the same strain of Salmonella that was sickening people.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say an 8-year-old boy was struck and killed by a school bus that had dropped him off not far from his northeast Omaha home.

The accident occurred around 4:50 p.m. Monday. Police say the bus had stopped to let off the boy and several other students. As the driver resumed her westbound route, the boy tried to run across the street ahead of the bus but was hit.

Police say he died shortly after arriving at Nebraska Medical Center. He’s been identified as Haji Mohamed, who attended Springville Elementary School.

The bus driver was identified as 33-year-old Ashleigh Avant.

Police say the accident is being investigated.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A 31-year-old Norfolk man accused of having an arsenal of guns while dealing drugs has been sentenced to more than 16 years in federal prison.

Federal prosecutors say Chadwick Board was sentenced Monday to more than 11 years after earlier pleading guilty to a count of conspiring to distribute more than 50 grams of methamphetamine and another count of possessing a firearm in relation to drug trafficking, which added a five-year term to his sentence.

Investigators say a search of his home on March 2, 2017, turned up 23 firearms, including handguns, sawed-off shotguns and assault rifles, as well as drug paraphernalia tied to meth trafficking. Prosecutors say Board was already a convicted felon when the guns were found.

In exchange for his plea, two other charges were dropped.

BELLEVUE, Neb. (AP) — A Bellevue teen accused of threatening fellow students earlier this year at his high school has had his case moved to trial court.

18-year-old Nicholas Scott will be arraigned in Sarpy County District Court on charges of possession of a destructive device and making terroristic threats.

Police say Scott in February threatened to shoot Bellevue West students during a planned walk out to protest recent school shootings. Investigators say they found bomb-making materials in Scott’s bedroom, including a metal pipe, toy rocket propulsion engines and fireworks, small nails and two packages of BBs.

Scott’s attorney, David Reed, says prosecutors have no real case.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — A Nebraska woman has been accused of a fatal stabbing in Sioux City.

The stabbing occurred early Sunday morning. Police have not released the victim’s name but said he or she died after being taken to a hospital.

The suspect soon was arrested after officers stopped her car because it matched the description of a suspect vehicle.

The woman was taken into custody on a charge of first-degree murder. She’s been identified as 20-year-old Melissa Camargo Flores, of Dakota City, Nebraska. She’s also been treated for a stab wound.

Online court records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment for her.

NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a man walking his dogs in Norfolk died after being struck by a vehicle.

The accident occurred around 6:35 a.m. Friday as 78-year-old Jean Dewald and the dogs were crossing a road. Police say he was taken to a local hospital and then died while being taken to an Omaha hospital. The woman driving the vehicle has been identified as 60-year-old Debra Coolidge.

Police say the two dogs weren’t injured.

ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) — A crude oil spill from the Keystone Pipeline in South Dakota last November has turned out to be nearly twice as big as first reported.

Around 407,000 gallons (338,900 imperial gallons) spilled onto farmland when the pipeline broke near Amherst in Marshall County on Nov. 16, a spokeswoman for pipeline owner TransCanada Corp., told the Aberdeen American News. TransCanada had originally put the spill at 210,000 gallons (174,860 imperial gallons).

The new number would make the spill the seventh-largest onshore oil or petroleum product spill since 2010, as reported to the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Repairs have since been made and the cleanup is done. TransCanada resumed using the pipeline 12 days after the leak.

“The remediation work on the property has been completed. We have replaced the last of the topsoil and have seeded the impacted area,” TransCanada spokeswoman Robynn Tysver said in an email to the newspaper late Friday.

A preliminary report indicated that the pipeline might have been damaged during construction in 2008. The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration is expected to release its final report on the leak in the next few weeks. The federal agency has estimated that the leak cost TransCanada $9.57 million.

Brian Walsh, an environmental scientist manager for the state Department of Environment and Natural Resources, said the state received the corrective action order report from the pipeline agency about a week ago. He’s reviewing the 4,000 pages to verify the data and make any necessary changes before the final report is published.

The Keystone Pipeline carries oil more than 2,600 miles (4,180 kilometers) from Alberta, Canada, to Oklahoma and Illinois.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A robber who shook hands with a Lincoln convenience store clerk before fleeing has been sent to prison.

Court records say 33-year-old Andrew Cummins was sentenced Wednesday to six to 10 years in prison. Cummins had pleaded guilty to robbing the Super C gas station and store in October.

Police say Cummins had asked for cash but left with liquor and cigarettes only after the clerk opened the register to show it was empty. A court document says Cummins had been apologetic to the clerk, even giving his name and saying he would return to pay for the items he was stealing.

OFFUTT AIR FORCE BASE, Neb. (AP) — An airman has pleaded guilty to charges that he killed another airman at Offutt Air Force Base near Omaha.

Officials say Airman 1st Class Timothy Wilsey entered the plea Thursday to a charge of premeditated murder. It carries a sentence of life in prison.

Prosecutors say he strangled 20-year-old Airman 1st Class Rhianda Dillard on Aug. 1, 2016. She joined the Air Force after graduating high school near Biloxi, Mississippi.

Three days before Dillard’s body was found in a dormitory, Wilsey was recorded by surveillance cameras walking into it with Dillard and leaving alone a short time later.

Wilsey was arrested 11 days later in Emporia, Virginia. An investigator says a journal written by Wilsey found on him at the time of his arrest described the killing in lurid detail.
