LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Five people have pleaded not guilty to charges that they conspired to rob banks in Lincoln.

The five entered their pleas to conspiracy counts Monday in U.S. District Court in Lincoln. Four of the five also pleaded not guilty to bank robbery. Only 21-year-old Crystal Stabler was not charged with robbery.

Prosecutors identified the four others as 22-year-old Israel Holmes, 23-year-old Julian Huffman, 22-year-old Kaylene Stabler and 21-year-old Kiana Stabler.

Court records say seven banks were robbed of a total of more than $49,000 from May through October. Prosecutors say pepper spray was used on bank employees in at least two of the robberies and the robbers also used realistic-looking BB guns to menace the employees.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A man accused of spying on nude women at a Lincoln fitness gym and making videos has been sent to jail.

Court records say 29-year-old Jade Hawklen was sentenced Monday to 18 months behind bars and was given five years of probation. He’d pleaded no contest to three counts of unlawful intrusion and one of attempted unlawful intrusion.

Hawklen told police he used to work at the gym and used a key he’d acquired to access a room that contained a light therapy machine.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Investigators say an Iowa parolee charged with killing a cab driver in June is also responsible for the April shooting death of a bail bondsman.

Police said Monday that Curtis Jones is charged in the death of 34-year-old Jonathan Wieseler, who was shot during a robbery at his Iowa City office.

Jones has been in custody awaiting trial in the death of 46-year-old Ricky Lillie, who police say was robbed and shot after giving Jones a ride.

Authorities said charges in Wieseler’s death were filed after testing uncovered the victim’s DNA on evidence seized from a vehicle Jones was driving.

The Iowa Board of Parole released Jones from prison years early in November 2016 in an armed robbery case, even though he’d been deemed a high risk to reoffend.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The widow of a Kansas man killed last month by an undersheriff has asked a court to release video and audio recordings that her attorney says show her husband was unarmed and trying to obey instructions when he was shot.

Attorney Michael Kuckelman says recordings he viewed are troubling and the public has a right to see them.

He told The Associated Press on Thursday that the video captures the Barber County sheriff telling the undersheriff minutes before Steven Myers was shot with a bean bag round on Oct. 6 that with “a little luck and he’ll just pass out and die.”

The sheriff disabled his body camera after the shooting and instructed a deputy to disable his camera. The sheriff’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha bus driver says a man punched him after he refused to stop to pick him up.

Police were called Friday afternoon to a downtown intersection after the driver didn’t answer his radio. Officers found the bus with the driver sitting outside, complaining of dizziness and nursing a cut to his nose.

The 59-year-old driver told officers a man tried to wave him down but it wasn’t a posted bus stop so he kept driving. About 20 minutes later, the same man got on the bus and punched the driver several times in the face before running away.

The driver was treated by paramedics.

GREENWOOD, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say one person has died and four people have been injured in a collision on Interstate 80 in eastern Nebraska.

The crash occurred around 2:15 a.m. Monday near the Greenwood exit. The Nebraska State Patrol says an eastbound Nissan sport utility vehicle crossed into westbound traffic and struck a pickup truck. The Nissan then veered into another lane and hit a Toyota Camry.

The driver of the Nissan, 23-year-old Ashley Chinana, of Niobrara, was pronounced dead at the crash.

The pickup and Toyota each were carrying one passenger as well as the drivers. They were all taken to Lincoln area hospitals.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A former Omaha schoolteacher and area youth softball coach accused of child sexual assault has taken a plea deal.

47-year-old Daryl Clark pleaded no contest Monday to enticement by electronic device and to attempted visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct. Prosecutors had already dropped three counts of child sexual assault when they determined the girl had been 16, the age of sexual consent in Nebraska. They amended other charges in exchange for Clark’s pleas.

At the time of his arrest last year, Clark was a business education teacher at Omaha’s Monroe Middle School and a girls softball coach in Papillion and Bellevue. Court records say he lives in Crescent, Iowa.

PRETTY PRAIRIE, Kan. (AP) — Authorities say a man accidentally shot his 11-year-old son in the face while they were hunting in south-central Kansas.

The Reno County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post that the accident happened shortly before 10 a.m. Sunday as the father hunted with his son and a 9-year-old nephew at a walk-in hunting field near Pretty Prairie. The father told the sheriff’s officers that his son had walked a little ahead. He said that when he swung his 12 gauge shotgun to the left to shoot at a flying bird, some of the birdshot struck the boy in the face.

The boy suffered superficial wounds and was taken to Via Christi St. Joseph Hospital in Wichita.

It ran into the median and rolled, ending up on the north side of the westbound lanes. Investigators suspect Madey had fallen asleep at the wheel.

Powell says Madey was pronounced dead at the scene. Madey lived in Beaverton, Oregon.
