A statue honoring two beloved St. Bernards has been found in Lincoln.

The statue owned by Donna Frye was spotted by her brother-in-law on Friday, just across the street from his home and about a mile from Frye’s residence. The 45-year-old concrete statue was stolen last week.

Frye said she and her husband bought the statue after her dog, Angel, died. She says it also memorialized their second St. Bernard, Brandy, who died in the mid-1990s.

She believes the thief or thieves read about the theft in the Journal Star, panicked, and then dropped off the statue near the home of the wrong Frye family.

(AP) — Federal authorities are offering new reward money for information leading to an additional arrest in the 2011 theft of explosives in southeast Nebraska.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives says the $5,000 is not being offered in conjunction with previous reward money that led to the arrest and conviction of two men involved in the removal of the explosives from storage units at the Buckley Powder Company in rural Cass County.

Investigators believe one or more people were involved in the theft, which included 100 pounds of blasting agent.

Authorities say Christopher Bousman helped Travis McQueen get rid of the stolen materials by throwing them into the Missouri and Platte rivers. McQueen was sentenced to 63 months in prison and Bousman was sentenced to 18 months in prison.

A 51-year-old southeast Nebraska man has been sentenced to 18 months in federal prison for failing to register as a sex offender.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for Nebraska says Roger Price was sentenced in Omaha’s federal court on Friday.

In October 2012, the U.S. Marshals Service learned that Price had been living in Rulo, Neb., for at least two months and had not registered as a sex offender with the Nebraska State Patrol.

After Price’s release from prison, he will undergo 10 years of supervision.

The Omaha Police Department has revised its policy regarding the public’s use of cameras in the wake of an investigation into recent excessive force allegations that saw four officers fired.

Police officials say the department has long recognized the public’s right to record the actions of police in public. The revised policy spells out that people cannot be arrested simply for recording police or being near a crime scene.

The video showed an officer violently throwing a man to the ground and punching him while he was restrained. Other officers were seen chasing Johnson’s brother, who was recording the arrest, into his house.
