PAPILLION, Neb. (AP) — Sarpy County is seeking its first full-time director to manage the county jail.

The County Board on Tuesday approved a job description for the position to oversee the 148-bed facility in Papillion.

Officials hope to advertise the position in May, interviewing candidates in June and making a decision in July.

Candidates must have at least a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice or a related field and eight years of corrections experience, with at least five years in a leadership or senior management position.

County officials are also weighing whether to expand the current jail or build a new one at another location. The jail is consistently at capacity, forcing the county to pay to transport and house inmates in other facilities.

HARTINGTON, Neb. (AP) — A man accused of scalding a year-old infant has been given 10 to 14 years in a Nebraska prison.

Court records say 22-year-old River Malatare was sentenced Monday in Cedar County District Court in Hartington. He’d pleaded no contest to attempted intentional child abuse and guilty to an unrelated charge of failing to register as a sex offender.

The records say Malatare lived in Yankton, South Dakota, and had been staying with the child’s mother. He was baby-sitting the girl in March 2015 when she was scalded. He told a nurse at a Yankton hospital that he didn’t know the bath water he’d drawn was so hot.

South Dakota records say Malatare was convicted in 2014 of statutory rape of a teenager.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a 61-year-old Douglas County Jail inmate has died at a hospital after a struggle with jail staffers.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office says Steven Claycamp was combative when confronted around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday as he tried to leave a cell at the Omaha facility. Staffers eventually placed him in restraint chair and gave him a sedative.

The Sheriff’s Office says Claycamp was treated by medical staff when he became ill. Then he was taken to Creighton University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 6:15 p.m.

Sheriff Tim Dunning says Claycamp had a history of medical problems.

State law requires a grand jury investigation any time a person is dies in custody or while being arrested.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An assistant professor of biology at a college in central Omaha has embarked on an experiment to add a honeybee hive to the campus in order to promote education and appreciation for bees.

Amanda Roe brought the hive and a box containing about 5,000 bees and a queen to the College of St. Mary this month to not only demonstrate bee behavior, but to assist in lessons about plants, flowers and pollination.

Scientists have paid attention for over a decade to the declining bee population evidently caused by pesticides and other factors. Roe says she’s more concerned about the declining wild bee population than the honeybee population because humans can raise honeybees to bolster their numbers.

Roe hopes the hive will show that insects aren’t “gross and icky” creatures.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say five people — including a student — have been injured in a north Omaha crash involving a school bus.

Officials say five people were taken to a hospital Tuesday after the 4:20 p.m. crash that involved the bus and two other vehicles near 63rd and Ames streets.

Authorities say there were students on the bus at the time of the crash, and one was among the five taken to a hospital.

Witnesses told officers the bus was turning left when it collided with a car. The driver and passengers in the car were taken to the hospital. Police say one of those victims is in critical condition.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say eight people have been arrested with guns and drugs in the Omaha and Lincoln areas.

Federal prosecutors say several pounds of cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana were found during 11 searches conducted Monday. Authorities declined to provide any names until indictments are unsealed.

Four people were arrested on federal charges and the remainder on state charges.

Ten law enforcement agencies were involved in the operation.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha man has been charged with child abuse for the accidental shooting of a 4-year-old boy.

Court records say 27-year-old Jared Nichols also is charged with tampering with physical evidence. A court document says Nichols threw the handgun into a sewer after the shooting Sunday evening in northeast Omaha. Court records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment for Nichols.

It’s unclear who was holding the gun when it went off, striking Princeton Shannon-Davis in a hand. A neighbor called 911 after the shooting, and Princeton was soon taken to Nebraska Medical Center for treatment.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — A Nebraska man has been given two years of probation for stealing prescription painkillers while working at a pharmacy in Council Bluffs.

Court records show 24-year-old Justin Gardner, of Omaha, pleaded guilty Monday to possession for sale. Prosecutors dropped two other counts in exchange. Gardner was granted a deferred judgment. Under a deferred judgment, the conviction will be removed from Gardner’s record if he successfully completes the terms of his probation.

Gardner also is awaiting trial in Council Bluffs on a charge of sexual abuse. Prosecutors say a woman reported that she had been drinking the night of Feb. 25 and woke up at a friend’s apartment as Gardner sexually assaulted her. She told police he didn’t stop when she told him to. He told investigators the sex was consensual.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A woman whose baby was due mid-May went into labor early and gave birth at a Nebraska zoo.

Drea Hubbard was born Sunday at the Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium, weighing 5 pounds, 5 ounces.

Her mother, 24-year-old Kymica Hubbard, says the birth took about two minutes from when her water broke.

Hubbard was so taken by surprise that she was still standing when Drea’s head appeared. Her husband, Justin Hubbard, caught the child and wrapped her in a sweater as other zoo visitors gathered around.

The zoo’s nurse, Krystal Hartmann, says Drea is the first human baby she’s seen delivered at the facility.

While Kymica Hubbard says she never thought she would have a baby in public, her husband said he “wouldn’t trade the experience for the world.”

PAPILLION, Neb. (AP) — Firefighters used a private citizen’s boat to rescue a visually impaired teenager who’d flipped while kayaking on a lake in an Omaha suburb.

Deputy Fire Chief Jeff Jones of the Papillion (pub-PIHL’-yuhn) department says the boy’s mother was watching from shore Monday evening as he paddled across Walnut Creek Lake. The boy was wearing a life jacket and was able to hold onto a nearby tree in the 105-acre impoundment after the kayak turned over 40 to 50 yards from shore.

Jones says a man who happened by offered his boat, so one of the firefighters borrowed it and motored out to reach the teen and return him to safety. The boy was cold but not injured.

Jones says the boy’s kayak was recovered later.
