WAVERLY, Neb. (AP) — A former Waverly city councilman will receive $40,000 from the city to settle a two-year legal fight over wheelchair sidewalk access.

Waverly doesn’t admit any wrongdoing as part of the settlement with Larry Nedrow.

Nedrow’s legal fight with the city began in June 2015 when he couldn’t get onto the sidewalk north of Waverly Intermediate School because his electronic wheelchair couldn’t navigate the curb. He says after a filing a second complaint and taking up the issue with school officials, nothing was done.

Nedrow then filed a federal lawsuit in March 2016 alleging discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act, which requires city sidewalks to be wheelchair-accessible.

City officials said the sidewalk was the school district’s responsibility.

The fire Friday afternoon in Wayne County burned around 260 acres of field and 100 hay bales. The fire was in a rural area outside of Wayne.

RICHLAND, Neb. (AP) — A Columbus woman has been killed in a rollover crash along U.S. Highway 30 near Richland.

A Colfax County sheriff’s deputy spotted the crash around 2:15 a.m. on a county road just east of an exit to Richland.

The deputy says a man and a woman were thrown from the sport utility vehicle and taken by ambulance to a Columbus hospital, where the woman was pronounced dead.

Officials say the man’s injuries are serious, but that he is expected to live.

Authorities have not yet released the names of the man or woman pending notification of family members.

AINSWORTH, Neb. (AP) — Authorities will get to keep nearly $41,000 seized during a traffic stop in Brown County.

Authorities say a Nebraska state trooper stopped a speeding vehicle Jan. 6 on U.S. Highway 183. Brown County Attorney David Streich has said the trooper gained permission to search the vehicle and found the cash in a bag. Both people in the vehicle denied any knowledge of the money, leading the trooper to seize it.

A district court judge ruled Tuesday that the money was used in violation of drugs laws and ordered the cash to be forfeited. After court costs are deducted, the money will be divided between the Brown County Drug Law Enforcement Fund and the local school district.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement have arrested 26 people in Minnesota, marking the largest ICE operation in the state since the Trump administration vowed to increase immigration enforcement.

The arrests are part of a broader operation that also resulted in 32 arrests in Nebraska, 23 in Iowa, four in North Dakota and one in South Dakota.

ICE says the operation was routine and targeted those with criminal convictions. It also targeted immigrants who illegally re-entered the U.S. after prior deportations and immigrants with orders for removal — both low priorities under the Obama administration.

Brad Capoch works at Incarnation Catholic Church in Minneapolis, which caters to the Latino community. He tells the Star Tribune (https://strib.mn/2mTSOrO) that aside from the shift in priorities, the operation appeared similar to those under Obama’s administration.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A third person has been imprisoned for the slaying of a Lincoln man last year.

Court records say 23-year-old Elizabeth Reddish was sentenced Wednesday to 3½ years in prison. She’d pleaded no contest to an accessory charge in the slaying of 27-year-old James Carr on Jan. 4, 2016. She also pleaded no contest to a drug charge.

Authorities say Reddish supplied a gun used by Matthew Pavey to kill Carr. Pavey’s been sentenced to 75 years to life in prison. Authorities say the woman who lured Carr to where he was shot, Tiffany Welch, has been given 15 to 20 years in prison.

AUBURN, Neb. (AP) — A former Peru State College basketball player accused of stabbing three other Peru State athletes is scheduled for a May trial.

Court records say 24-year-old Jeffland Neverson, from Brooklyn, New York, has pleaded not guilty to assault, use of a weapon and tampering with evidence — all felonies. His trial is set to begin May 1 in Nemaha County District Court in Auburn.

Authorities say the crimes occurred after a fight broke out Sept. 17 last year about a block from the Peru State stadium in Peru. Several Peru State football and basketball players were involved in the melee. At least three of the athletes required medical treatment.
