GREELEY, Neb. (AP) — A man has pleaded not guilty to charges that he burglarized the home of the brother of the late Nebraska punter Sam Foltz.

Thirty-eight-year-old Scott Davis, of Lennox, South Dakota, entered the pleas Monday in Greeley County District Court.

Authorities say Davis broke into the home of Jordan Foltz on Sept. 3 as the Foltz family attended a memorial for Sam Foltz at the Huskers’ home opener. Davis is also suspected in a theft at a Greeley construction site.

Davis’ next court appearance is scheduled for Nov. 21.

TEKAMAH, Neb. (AP) — A pipeline operator has reported that a release of anhydrous ammonia fertilizer in northeast Nebraska has killed a man.

Magellan Midstream Partners, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, said in a news release Tuesday that the leak occurred late Monday evening in part of its 8-inch pipeline system near Tekamah. The cause of the leak is being investigated.

The company said other nearby residents were evacuated and some roads were closed.

The man’s name hasn’t been released.

Magellan says it’s notified local, state and federal authorities. A dispatcher said the Burt County sheriff was unavailable, and the phone rang unanswered at county emergency manager’s office. Emergency Management Agency spokeswoman Jodie Fawl says a state emergency response team has been dispatched, but she had no other information.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Three elected officials in the Lincoln area are receiving substantial property tax breaks on their homes through Nebraska’s homestead exemption program.

Lancaster County Commissioner Larry Hudkins received a homestead exemption for a portion of his home and saved more than $2,700 this year under the state’s program that’s primarily intended to help low-income seniors.

Lincoln City Councilman Jon Camp and Southeast Community College board member Bob Feit each have homestead exemptions covering their entire home value under a new exemption for veterans with 100 percent service-connected disability. Camp saved nearly $5,500 and Feit saved more than $5,100 in property taxes using that program.

As elected officials, the three men make decisions affecting the local property tax rate in Lancaster County. Hudkins’ and Camp’s salaries are also funded by local property tax revenue.

REASNOR, Iowa (AP) — Authorities suspect arson in the latest burning of heavy equipment being used in the construction of the four-state Dakota Access pipeline in central Iowa.

The Jasper County Sheriff’s Office says the blaze late Saturday near Reasnor, Iowa, caused about $2 million damage to an excavator and three bulldozers. The equipment is operated by a contractor for Dakota Access, a subsidiary of Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners.

Opponents have for months been protesting the $3.8 billion, nearly 1,200-mile project pipeline, warning its construction could jeopardize water supply and damage cultural artifacts.

Another suspected arson of construction equipment happened on Aug. 1 at the same site, about 30 miles east of Des Moines.

No arrests have been made in either fire. The Iowa Fire Marshal Division and the FBI are investigating.

Police say a westbound vehicle went out of control near the I Street exit around 2:30 a.m. Monday. The vehicle rolled, ejecting the driver onto the southbound lanes of the I-L-Q streets exit ramp, where the driver was struck by a southbound sport utility vehicle.

The victim was identified as 29-year-old Lucio Lazo-Romero, who lived in Papillion (puh-PIHL’-yuhn). An autopsy has been scheduled.

Police identified the SUV driver as 23-year-old Christian Yochum.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a firefighter has been injured battling flames at an unoccupied house in Lincoln.

A fire investigator is trying to determine what caused the blaze.

NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) — The wind energy program at Northeast Community College is supporting a growing industry by preparing students to take care of wind turbines.

Northeast’s is the only program in the state that offers an associate’s degree of applied science in wind energy.

Since 2011, over 60 students have completed the program. Out of the 12 students who graduated last year, 11 are employed either as wind energy technicians or in related electrical fields.

Currently, there are seven freshmen and 10 sophomores in the program.

Shanelle Grudzinski, who oversees the program, says several wind farms have been built in northeast Nebraska so there are jobs in the area for graduates.

SCHUYLER, Neb. (AP) — A $589,265 state grant will help build housing for senior citizens in Schuyler.

The Nebraska Department of Economic Development says its grant will help build 14 units of housing in Schuyler.

The rest of the project’s nearly $3 million cost will be covered by a combination of low-income tax credits, a conventional loan and an owner equity loan.

The homes will each have three bedrooms, one and three-quarters bathrooms and attached garages. Snow removal, lawn care and trash pick-up will be provided by the landlord.

The homes will also be designed for wheelchair access to a first-floor bathroom and reinforced bathroom walls so grab bars can be installed.
