SCHUYLER, Neb. (AP) — A Schuyler man has been imprisoned for the death of a 15-year-old girl who was a passenger in his car.

23-year-old Angel Lopez was sentenced Wednesday to 12 to 20 years in prison. He’d pleaded no contest to manslaughter after prosecutors dropped four other charges, including drunken driving.

Authorities say Lopez’s car slammed into a tree in Schuyler around 11 p.m. on June 15, 2016. A passenger, Isabella Brandt, was killed in the crash. A 15-year-old boy in the car was injured.

Authorities say the car crashed while fleeing from a Schuyler police officer.

HASTINGS, Neb. (AP) — A Hastings police officer accused of kicking and shoving his wife and slapping his mother while off-duty has been charged with assault.

Court records say 26-year-old Cody Bland was charged Tuesday with domestic assault, assault and a related charge. A public phone listing for him couldn’t be found. The records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment for him. Bland’s arraignment is scheduled for Monday in Adams County Court.

The records say Bland’s wife told officers that Bland kicked, shoved and tackled her at their home Oct. 30. She managed to call some of her husband’s relatives for help. His mother says he slapped and kicked her after she arrived.

Bland has been on the Hastings force for four years. He’s been suspended with pay.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A woman charged with vehicular homicide and drunken driving after a fatal Sarpy County collision has pleaded not guilty.

22-year-old Paige Seaton entered the pleas Tuesday.

The Oct. 4 crash on state Highway 50 killed 15-year-old Alexandra Linscott, of Eagle, who was passenger in her mother’s car. Her mother, 48-year-old Elisa Linscott, was critically injured.

Investigators say Seaton crossed the center line, hitting the Linscotts’ car. Officials say Seaton’s blood alcohol level after the crash measured more than twice the legal driving limit.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A former Omaha child care provider accused of abusing a 4-year-old girl in her care has pleaded no contest.

59-year-old Lynn Rowe entered the plea Tuesday to the child abuse charge in Douglas County District Court. She faces up to three years in prison when she’s sentenced in January.

Police say the girl’s parents reported April 3 that Rowe had abused their daughter while the girl was at Rowe’s daycare. Officials say the report was made after a worker at the daycare recorded Rowe hitting the girl.

The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services shut down Lynn’s Learning Center shortly after Rowe’s arrest in April in Missouri Valley, Iowa.

FREMONT, Neb. (AP) — Health officials have begun to assess whether they need to treat anyone who was exposed to tuberculosis by a patient who has died in Omaha.

The patient was treated Oct. 29 at Fremont Health and transferred an Omaha hospital that day. Terra Uhing of the Three Rivers Health Department says the patient died Friday. No details about the patient are being released.

The department covers Dodge, Saunders and Washington counties.

Uhing says the department is interviewing family and community members to identify any setting where other people might have been exposed. The infection risk rises with close proximity in a confined space for a prolonged period of time with a person whose sputum is positive for tuberculosis.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A judge has delayed a decision on whether the case against the Lancaster County treasurer should go to trial in district court.

On Monday Judge C. Jo Petersen gave prosecutors 10 days to respond to a defense brief for Andy Stebbing, who’s accused of selling cars without a dealer’s license, failing to pay sufficient income taxes and helping customers evade taxes. Petersen did not set a deadline for her decision.

Stebbing’s attorney says prosecutors have filed unnecessarily strong charges and says state officials should have notified Stebbing of problems with his tax returns before charging him with felonies. But at Stebbing’s preliminary hearing Monday, prosecutors said the evidence showed Stebbing was selling vehicles as a business without a dealer’s license.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A January sentencing has been scheduled for a man whose speeding van crashed in Omaha, killing a passenger in the cargo area.

Police say the van was speeding July 5 when it left the roadway, hit a guardrail and a bridge support. Then the van caught fire. Police say the crash killed 58-year-old Silvano Torres, who was riding without restraints in the van’s cargo area.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Authorities have released the name of a woman who died after being pinned under a car she was repairing in Lincoln.

Police identified the woman Sunday as 40-year-old Darcy Johnson. Authorities say Johnson was working under a sedan propped up on a jack in an apartment complex parking lot when the car fell off the jack around 1:20 p.m. Saturday, pinning her underneath.

Emergency responders pulled her from under the car and tried to resuscitate her, but she was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A judge has sentenced a former treasurer of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska tribal council to five years of probation.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office says U.S. District Court Judge Laurie Smith Camp on Monday sentenced 56-year-old Thomas Snowball, of Winnebago to the probation as well as 150 hours of community service. He also was ordered to pay $36,500 in restitution.

Snowball had pleaded guilty earlier to theft from an Indian gaming establishment.

From 2013 through September 2014, Snowball took unauthorized disbursements from the WinnaVegas Casino and Resort totaling $36,500.

The charges were related to a conspiracy by nine former council members to steal more than $327,000 from the WinnaVegas Casino in Sloan, Iowa.
