BEATRICE, Neb. (AP) — Beatrice police say a man has died after falling out of a vehicle on a Beatrice city street in southeastern Nebraska.

Beatrice Police Sgt. Brian Carver said the man died Thursday when he fell from a vehicle making a turn and was apparently run over by the vehicle.

Neither the name of the man or the woman driving the vehicle has been released.

Carver says investigators are not sure how fast the vehicle was going when it was making the turn. The driver was not arrested, and Carver says the investigation is continuing.

An autopsy has been ordered.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Jurors have determined a former doctor should be eligible for the death penalty after they convicted him of killing four people with ties to an Omaha medical school.

The jury that convicted Anthony Garcia this week took only 30 minutes Friday to find aggravating factors in his crimes, including the heinous nature of the killings. Under Nebraska law, a three-judge panel must unanimously decide to impose the death sentence.

Garcia, of Terre Haute, Indiana, was convicted Wednesday of first-degree murder in the 2008 stabbing deaths of the 11-year-old son of a Creighton University medical school doctor and the family’s housekeeper, as well as the 2013 killings of another Creighton doctor and that doctor’s wife. Prosecutors say Garcia was motivated by revenge over being fired by the doctors in 2001.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities have pulled a body from a southwest Omaha lake.

Police say the body was discovered Friday morning in Zorinsky Lake by a person who then called 911.

Authorities say the body was found just off shore near the South 168th Street entrance and recovered around 9 a.m.

The person’s identity and other details, such as the cause of death, have not yet been released by officials.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Supreme Court has upheld the conviction and more than 100-year sentence of a man who killed his 2-year-old grandson.

Peter Draper, of Naponee, was convicted last year of intentional child abuse resulting in death and intentional child abuse resulting in serious injury. An autopsy concluded Joseph Rinehart Jr. died on April 30, 2012, of several injuries, including a perforated bowel, fractured skull and pelvis.

It was the second time Draper was convicted in the case, after the Nebraska Supreme Court ordered a new trial for him because prosecutors wrongly called his wife as a witness.

In its ruling Friday, the high court found no merit to Draper’s arguments that there insufficient evidence to convict him and that his sentences were excessive.

NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) — A woman in eastern Nebraska has been accused of creating a disturbance at a Wal-Mart that involved an employee injury and damage to a coin machine.

Police in Norfolk say 35-year-old Melinda M. Tyler of Bloomfield was at a local Wal-Mart early Friday when witnesses reported she was seen yelling and hitting a machine that collects coins.

A police report says Tyler at some point threw a glass pipe at a Wal-Mart employee. That caused a cut to the worker’s wrist.

Officers responding to the scene say Tyler appeared intoxicated and resisted arrest. She is accused of pulling her arms away from handcuffs and kicking two officers.

Tyler faces multiple charges including assault, possession of a controlled substance and disturbing the peace. Court records do not list an attorney.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Several Douglas County law enforcement unions have endorsed a judge despite the controversy about bail he set for a man who was released and later charged with drunken driving in a crash that killed a woman.

The Omaha Police Officers Association and the unions representing Douglas County sheriff’s deputies and corrections officers have endorsed Douglas County Judge Jeffrey Marcuzzo, who will be on the Nov. 8 ballot.

Opponents want Marcuzzo off of the bench or punished because they say the $50,000 bail he set for Eswin Mejia (meh-HEE’-uh) was too low. Police say Mejia, who was in the country illegally, collided with another vehicle while street racing in January, killing 21-year-old Sarah Root.

Mejia posted the required 10 percent of his bail and has been missing ever since.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha police say a 21-year-old man has been injured after his car collided with a train.

The Omaha Police Department says the crash happened Thursday night near a southwest area of the city.

Authorities say the man trespassed onto property and his pickup truck was on the shoulder of the train tracks when the vehicle was hit.

The train, which is owned by Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, was able to slow down before impact with the truck.

FALLS CITY, Neb. (AP) — A former sheriff’s deputy in Nebraska who accidentally shot himself in 2014 has been found not guilty of child abuse charges.

A jury on Oct. 21 found 28-year-old Joshua Nincehelser not guilty of three felony child abuse charges. He had been accused of sexually assaulting a girl younger than 12.

Nincehelser was a Richardson County Sheriff’s deputy in 2014 when he reported he was shot by a driver he had pulled over near Humboldt. Authorities determined he lied and Nincehelser later told investigators he’d accidentally shot himself and shot at his cruiser to make his story look real.

Nincehelser was sentenced in 2015 to three years of probation and 180 days of community service for felony criminal mischief and misdemeanor false reporting.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha police say 8-month-old twin girls are safe following reports they were in a vehicle that was carjacked from a supermarket parking lot.

The Omaha Police Department says the girls’ mother reported the abduction Thursday after 8 p.m. outside a Baker’s in north Omaha. An Amber Alert was issued for the girls and they were later found in the car unharmed. The vehicle was abandoned.

The mother tells police she was putting groceries in the car’s trunk when a suspect jumped in the driver’s seat and drove away with the infants inside the vehicle.

Police say they’re looking for a person of interest recorded on the supermarket’s security video. No arrests have been made.
