OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Students have staged a walkout at an Omaha high school, saying they’re protesting the election of Donald Trump to be the next president of the United States.

Hundreds gathered Friday morning on a sidewalk and onto the grounds of Central High, a school with a diverse student population that sits a few blocks west of downtown Omaha. No incidents of violence have been reported.

Several students carried signs. Among them: “Love Trumps Hate” and “We Are Stronger Together.”

Officials stationed along the curb kept students from spilling onto a busy street.

Administrators held an assembly Thursday to talk to students about the election and the students’ political and social concerns. Hillary Clinton had won a mock election at the school.

A downtown Omaha anti-Trump protest Wednesday ended with two arrests.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — A Nebraska man has pleaded guilty to amended Iowa charges of indecent contact with a child and has been given a suspended six-year prison sentence and two years of probation.

50-year-old Michael Robinson, of Omaha, Nebraska, entered the plea Tuesday, the day before his trial was set to begin.

Robinson had originally been charged with several counts of third-degree sexual abuse stemming from several incidents spanning from 2007 to 2012.

Council Bluffs police say that at that time, Robinson was in a relationship with a relative of the victim. Another relative reported her suspicions of sexual abuse to Iowa Child Protective Services in March 2015.

Authorities say Robinson inappropriately touched the girl from the time she was about 10 until she was 15.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency is ordering Nebraska Railcar Cleaning Services to do a better job handling the crude oil, ethanol and other wastes it generates in Omaha.

Regulators said Thursday that the company could face substantial fines of $14,023 per day if it doesn’t comply with the rules for handling waste.

The EPA says the company has been keeping crude oil and ethanol in open, unmarked containers that could lead to fires.

In April 2015, two Nebraska Railcar workers died after an explosion inside a railcar they were cleaning.

Company officials said Thursday that no one was available immediately to comment on the EPA statement.

TAMA, Iowa (AP) — Law enforcement officials say a 23-year-old central Iowa mother who vanished in 2000 is believed to be a homicide victim.

The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation announced Thursday that agents have concluded Cora Okonski’s “disappearance was not voluntary.”

The agency says it’s reclassifying the Tama woman’s disappearance as a homicide rather than a missing person, and that her apparent death is under investigation. No suspects were identified.

Tama is about 60 miles northeast of Des Moines.

Okonski’s ex-boyfriend, Tait (tayt) Purk, has long faced police scrutiny since he was with her the night she disappeared and the two had a volatile relationship. He’s set to be released from federal prison on unrelated drug and gun charges in April.

Purk has denied involvement, telling police Okonski never returned home after walking to the store to buy cigarettes.

WEST POINT, Neb. (AP) — Federal safety regulators have proposed nearly $527,000 in penalties against the operators of a northeast Nebraska grain facility where a worker was fatally injured.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration said in a news release Thursday that it cited Prinz Grain & Feed in West Point for three willful, 15 serious and two lesser violations. In May the worker was buried by corn as he attempted to clear crusted corn from the insides of a grain bin.

Company co-owner Dave Prinz told The Associated Press that talks with OSHA officials have begun, but he declined to comment further.

OSHA says Prinz Grain has been placed in OSHA’s Severe Violator Enforcement Program, which focuses on employers that commit willful or repeat violations or fail to correct problems noted by inspectors.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A former Nebraska school superintendent has pleaded guilty to stealing $314,000 from a federal program.

Former Santee Community Schools superintendent Paul Sellon entered his plea on Tuesday. He was accused of stealing the funds between 2010 and 2013, while he worked for the Santee-based school district on the Santee Sioux Reservation.

According to a plea agreement, Sellon contracted with Mastery Learning and Achievement, paying $683,000 in funds from an annual school improvement grant. As a pre-condition to being hired in Santee, authorities say Sellon told the company it needed to pay him some of the grant money it received for its service.

Company officials told investigators they believed the company wouldn’t get the contract unless they paid Sellon as he directed.

Sellon’s sentencing is scheduled for February.

COLUMBUS, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a man has died after a collision south of Columbus in eastern Nebraska.

The crash occurred around 11:40 a.m. Wednesday on U.S. Highway 81, just south of the Platte River bridge. The Nebraska State Patrol says 64-year-old Tom Murphy was driving north when a southbound pickup turned left in front of his vehicle.

Murphy was fatally injured. The pickup driver was taken to Columbus Community Hospital. The patrol identified him as 56-year-old David Hamblin, also of Columbus.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A 62-year-old man has been imprisoned for shooting to death his roommate in Omaha.

Court records say Kenneth Munhall was given 50 to 70 years at his sentencing Wednesday. He’d pleaded guilty to second-degree murder after prosecutors lowered the charge from first-degree murder and dropped two other charges.

The records say he fatally shot 71-year-old Merlin Prinz in the forehead around 5 a.m. on April 25. The two had argued the night before.

DAKOTA CITY, Neb. (AP) — A former city clerk in northwest Iowa has been sentenced in a Nebraska court to probation for trying to set up a sexual encounter with someone he thought was a teenage boy.

61-year-old Douglas Furlich, of Lawton, Iowa, was sentenced Wednesday to three years of intense supervised release.

Furlich pleaded no contest in September to attempted sexual assault by use of an electronic device.

The Nebraska State Patrol says Furlich posted an ad online “looking for a younger guy.” Officials say an undercover officer responded, pretending to be a 15-year-old boy. Police say Furlich went in June to meet the boy at a South Sioux City, Nebraska, where he was arrested. He was fired by the Lawton City Council after the arrest.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha teen convicted of the gang-related killings of two others has been sentenced to 75 years in prison.

Charles Trotter was sentenced Friday.

A Douglas County jury found Trotter guilty in June of two counts of first-degree murder and other crimes in the shootings of 25-year-old Dexter Joseph and 26-year-old Marcel Lovejoy. Both men were found dead in a north-central Omaha apartment on Jan. 3, 2015.

Trotter was 16 at the time but was prosecuted as an adult.

Trotter’s first trial ended in a mistrial in March after a several fistfights broke out in a courtroom hallway during a lunch break. The brawl involved more than 30 friends and relatives of Trotter and his victims. Four of the people were arrested.
