Nebraska police say a man suspected of killing his parents and niece has been arrested in Tennessee, the same state he fled to after shooting his wife in 1998.

Omaha police confirm that 46-year-old John Dalton Jr. was taken into custody Wednesday by the U.S. Marshals Service in Jackson, Tennessee. He’s suspected in the Tuesday night shooting deaths of his parents and his 18-year-old niece in Omaha.

The teenager’s father tells the Omaha World-Herald that his daughter had gone to her grandparents’ house to pick up her sister and a plate of food. He says his daughter’s car was still running when authorities arrived, and that her sister ran to a neighbor’s house saying: “They shot my family.”

The victims were 70-year-old John Dalton Sr., 65-year-old Jean Dalton and 18-year-old Leonna Dalton-Phillip.

John Dalton Jr. went to prison following the death of his wife in 1998. He was paroled in 2010.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say nine people were taken to the hospital after an eastern Nebraska house fire.

None of the people had life-threatening injuries. Lincoln Fire and Rescue Battallion Chief Jeremy Gegg says firefighters responded to the blaze in northeast Lincoln Wednesday morning.

The fire was reported at 5:20 a.m. Investigators believe the fire began in the basement and spread throughout the home. All 13 people who had been staying at the house at the time were evacuated.

The fire caused at least $100,000 to the home and $75,000 to its contents. Fire investigators are still trying to determine the cause.

One man was arrested after assaulting a Nebraska State Trooper outside a home in Plainview Tuesday evening.

The incident occurred around 5:00 p.m. at a residence at 616 N. West Street, in Plainview. Trooper Brandon Viterna went to the residence to follow-up with a woman on a previous car accident. When he arrived at the home, Trooper Viterna was confronted by a man outside the home.

The man, identified as Billy Ray Hoscheit, 52, reached into a vehicle, pulled out a machete and continued yelling at the trooper. Hoscheit then put the machete back into the car and approached the trooper. Trooper Viterna pushed him away, but Hoscheit charged again leading to a physical confrontation. At that time, Hoscheit struck Trooper Viterna in the face.

Trooper Viterna called for back-up and additional officers from the Plainview Police Department, Pierce County Sheriff’s Office, and Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) arrived at the scene. Hoscheit went inside the house and locked the door. After attempting to get Hoscheit to voluntarily surrender, officers made entry into the house. A second struggle ensued in which Hoscheit was taken into custody.

After being taken into custody, Hoscheit began complaining of chest pains and was transported to the Plainview Hospital where he was evaluated and released. NSP arrested Hoscheit for Assault on an Officer, Resisting Arrest, Obstruction, and Disobeying a Lawful Order. He was lodged in Pierce County Jail.

Trooper Viterna was evaluated and released from the Plainview Hospital.

The accident occurred a little before 8:30 a.m. Friday on a county road. Deputies and medics sent to the scene found 61-year-old Michael Hadcock pinned beneath a truck.

HASTINGS, Neb. (AP) — Authorities have charged three people in the September slaying of a Hastings man.

Twenty-one-year-old Daniel Harden, of Hastings, was arrested Thursday and is charged with first-degree murder and use of a firearm. Court records say 21-year-old Katherine Creigh, with a Hastings address, was arrested Friday morning in Lincoln. She’s charged with being an accessory to murder. The records also say 19-year-old Deante Mullen, of Lincoln, was charged Thursday with first-degree murder and with the use of a firearm. The records don’t list an attorney for any of them.

They’re accused of participating in the shooting death of 19-year-old Jose “Joey” Hansen. Hastings Police Chief Adam Story says Harden and Mullen intended to rob Hansen early on Sept. 11. Hansen’s body was found by a couple out for a walk.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The governor has been given the names of two men to consider for a spot on the Nebraska Appeals Court.

A judicial nominating commission narrowed its list to David Bargen, of Adams, an attorney with the Lincoln firm of Rembolt Ludtke; and attorney Lawrence Welch Jr., of Beaver Lake.

The opening arises from the pending retirement of Judge Everett Inbody, of the 5th Appellate Court Judicial District. He’s been a county court, district court or appellate court judge for nearly 32 years.

The district covers 24 counties in southeast Nebraska, excluding Lancaster and Seward counties.

RALSTON, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say an early Christmas fire has heavily damaged a home in an Omaha suburb.

Firefighters were dispatched to the Ralston house around 12:45 a.m. Monday. The family members who rented the home were able to escape, and only one reported an injury to a hand.

The homeowner, Mark Klinker, says there was smoke and water damage throughout the structure.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A judge has dismissed a burglary charge filed against a bounty hunter who broke into an occupied Omaha residence and searched it until realizing he was in the wrong house.

The Douglas County District judge ruled that 25-year-old Duane Wilson’s actions weren’t out of line with court rulings that govern actions of bounty hunters.

Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine said he plans to appeal the ruling.

Wilson worked for Gallagher Bail Bonds in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Police documents show Gallagher was looking for a 17-year-old who didn’t show up to court after being bailed out of jail. Wilson broke into a family’s home Jan. 30 intending to catch the teen.

The family alleges Wilson searched the house with a gun drawn. Wilson denies the claims.

TEKAMAH, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a Tekamah man has died in a crash on a county road in northeast Nebraska’s Burt County.

The crash occurred around 11:30 a.m. Friday, about 3 miles (5 kilometers) southeast of Tekamah.

Chief Deputy Robert Sparks of the Burt County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday that 36-year-old Richard Mossberger was alone in the vehicle when it crashed. Sparks says it’s believed slick roads, excessive speed and alcohol use may have been factors in the crash.
