OFFUTT AIR FORCE BASE, Neb. (AP) — The $1.3 billion construction of a new headquarters for the U.S. Strategic Command at Offutt Air Force Base is being audited by the Defense Department.

Congress ordered the investigation because the cost of the project has grown nearly 10 percent and the project has fallen at least 20 months behind schedule because of design flaws and mold problems.

Auditors have already visited the site twice.

Col. John Hudson with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Omaha District says it’s not unusual for projects this big to be reviewed. The Corps is managing the project.

The building was originally scheduled to be done in September 2016. Now the Corps hopes to finish its work by this August.

The park’s location adjacent to the Missouri River presents a significant flyway that serves as the feeding, breeding and staging ground for migratory birds. The park is listed as an “Important Bird Area” by the National Audubon Society, with nearly 300 species sighted and more than 70 of those breeding in the area.

A park vehicle entry permit is required. The park sits about a mile north of Ponca in northeast Nebraska’s Dixon County.

PLATTSMOUTH, Neb. (AP) — A judge has ordered mental evaluations and electronic monitoring for two teens accused of making threats against Plattsmouth High School.

The 14- and 15-year-old boys appeared in court Friday when a judge ordered the evaluations. Both teens have been charged with making terroristic threats.

At the hearing, prosecutors said the threats stemmed from a break-up by one of the boys with his girlfriend. Prosecutors say the boys discussed plans at a party to “shoot up the school,” as well as pull off the braces of the ex-girlfriend with pliers before shooting her, too.

The teens remain in the custody of their parents and have been banned from school grounds. They are set to be arraigned next month.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A mistrial has been declared in the case of a 44-year-old Lincoln charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy he met through a networking app.

The jury deadlocked Thursday after several days of deliberation in the first-degree sexual assault trial of Esteban Bueno. Lancaster County District Judge Jodi Nelson declared a mistrial and set the case for retrial in April.

If retried and convicted, Bueno faces 20 years to life in prison.

Bueno was arrested last February after police say the boy told officers he and Bueno had chatted on the app and then met in person outside a Lincoln cafe. The boy said Bueno drove him to Bueno’s apartment, assaulted him there and then drove him back to the cafe.

BELLEVUE, Neb. (AP) — Police in eastern Nebraska have arrested a high school student they say threatened to shoot students who participated in a nationwide walkout earlier in the week.

Bellevue police say after arresting the 18-year-old, officers on Friday morning found materials that could be used to make explosives inside the teen’s bedroom.

Police say the student threatened to shoot students at Bellevue West who were participating in a nationwide walkout Wednesday. The walkout was a show of solidarity with survivors of a deadly high school shooting in Florida last week.

Students reported the threats to school officials, and the teen later turned himself in. He has been arrested on suspicion of making terroristic threats, but had not been formally charged by Friday evening.

Bellevue is about 10 miles south of Omaha.

A violent member of the Omaha, Nebraska area Crips Gang was found guilty today of participating in a racketeering conspiracy involving acts of violence, including attempted murder and assaults, witness tampering and drug distribution. Acting Assistant Attorney General John P. Cronan of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division and Acting U.S. Attorney Robert C. Stuart for the District of Nebraska made the announcement.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Omaha Police Department are investigating the case.  Trial Attorney John S. Han of the Criminal Division’s Organized Crime and Gang Section and Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Molsen of the District of Nebraska are prosecuting the case.
