LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A former BNSF Railway employee has won more than $1 million in a wrongful termination lawsuit.

Daniel Monohon, of Ottumwa, Iowa, was fired from a Lincoln branch of Fort Worth, Texas-based BNSF in 2014 for what the railroad said was insubordination.

Monohon says he was fired after he questioned BNSF’s policy of requiring employees to wear seatbelts while driving a vehicle that can operate both on rail tracks and a conventional road. Monohon’s attorneys, Corey Stull and Jeanette Stull of Lincoln, argued that his firing was a violation of the whistleblower provisions of the Federal Railroad Safety Act.

A federal jury in Iowa agreed and awarded Monohon $1,031,000 in lost pay and other damages.

BNSF says it will ask the court to set aside the verdict and will appeal.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Prosecutors say an Omaha real estate agent accused of angrily running down a store clerk with his truck confided his involvement in the killing to others.

A judge denied bond for 45-year-old Dirk Blume on Friday and set his preliminary hearing for Feb. 10 on charges of second-degree murder and use of a deadly weapon.

At the hearing, assistant Douglas County Attorney Ryan Lindberg told a judge that witnesses came forward to report that Blume “made admissions” to hitting Hansen with his pickup on Jan. 7. The incident resulted in Omaha’s first homicide of 2017.

Prosecutors say surveillance video that captured the fatal hit-and-run also showed Blume and Hansen arguing before the Hansen is run down in the parking lot of the store where he worked.
