COLUMBUS, Neb. (AP) – A 19-year-old driver has been given jail time and probation for the Platte County crash death of a motorcyclist.

Court records say Daisy Gonzalez, of Madison, was sentenced Tuesday to a year of probation. She also must serve five days in jail starting Aug. 2 and 15 more days starting Feb. 1 next year unless waived by a judge.

She’d pleaded no contest to misdemeanor vehicular homicide. Prosecutors dropped a related charge in return for her plea.

The records say the collision occurred Aug. 2 at the intersection of Nebraska Highway 91 and 490th Street. The records say her minivan collided with the motorcycle driven by 22-year-old Joshua Gasper, of Columbus. He died days later of his injuries.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A former sheriff’s deputy is facing another sexual assault charge in southeast Nebraska.

Lancaster County Court records say 30-year-old Nicholas Bridgmon, of Pleasant Dale, is charged with sexual assault of a minor. Investigators say Bridgmon had sex with a 15-year-old girl at a Lincoln apartment in August 2007, shortly after he turned 19. He’s already been charged in Johnson County with forcible sexual assault that authorities say occurred in July 2007.

His attorney didn’t immediately return a call Tuesday from The Associated Press.

The Nebraska State Patrol says in court documents that investigators have linked him to at least five potential victims. The patrol investigation began with a polygraph test for a patrol job he was seeking.

Seward County Sheriff Mike Vance says Bridgmon resigned Friday.

WACO, Neb. (AP) — Low temperatures and slick, snow-packed streets have prompted several eastern Nebraska school districts to cancel classes.

Omaha Public Schools and several suburban districts announced Sunday evening that they wouldn’t hold classes as temperatures plummeted. The National Weather Service said it was minus 7 (minus 22 Celsius) Monday morning in Omaha. The wind chill was minus 20 (minus 29 Celsius).

Nearly a foot (30.5 centimeters) of snow from the storm Saturday evening into Sunday was reported to the service from Ceresco and Weston. Interstate 80 and other highways closed for a time as motorists struggled in limited visibility to remain on the slippery roadways.

Authorities report four members of the Waco volunteer fire department were injured Saturday when their vehicle was struck by a semitrailer while responding to a multivehicle pileup on I-80 near York.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – The Roman Catholic Diocese of Lincoln has announced that a second Catholic school will close in Lincoln this year.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports that Sacred Heart Catholic School, which opened in 1928, will close in May because it is too expensive to operate. The school’s approximately 150 students in grades pre-K through 8 will consolidate with other Catholic schools in the area.

The diocese announced in December that St. St. Mary’s Catholic School, which has operated across the street from the state Capitol since the early 1900s, will also close this year.

The closings will not affect St. Mary’s or Sacred Heart parishes.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The president of Omaha firefighters union has been fired from the Omaha department following an internal investigation into allegations that he assaulted a woman in a downtown bar.

The Omaha World-Herald reported Friday that Omaha Fire Chief Dan Olsen fired Steve LeClair, citing the internal investigation.

Earlier this month, LeClair was ticketed for misdemeanor assault and disorderly conduct. That followed a police investigation into accusations by a woman that LeClair punched her in her back in November after she ignored several sexually-charged comments from him and asked him to leave her alone. The woman, who is black, also says LeClair whispered the words “white power” in her ear before hitting her. LeClair has denied the allegations.

LeClair did not immediately return a phone message left for him Friday seeking comment.

A statement from the Professional Fire Fighters Association of Omaha says LeClair will be utilizing due process rights available to all Omaha firefighters who’ve been terminated.

Investigators with the Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) have arrested a former Fremont police officer following an investigation into allegations of sexual assault of a child.

Austin Williams, 33, was arrested Friday for two counts of first degree sexual assault of a child, one count of attempt of a class 1 felony, and other charges. The investigation began last summer when NSP was notified by an advocacy center of a potential sexual assault.

At the time of the investigation, Williams was employed with the Fremont Police Department. His employment ended this week. Williams has been lodged in the Dodge County Jail.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha man has been found guilty in one of two fatal shootings in August 2015.

A Douglas County jury found 29-year-old Marcus Short guilty Thursday of first-degree murder for the Aug. 8, 2015, killing of 19-year-old Garion Johnson. The jury found him found not guilty of the Aug. 6, 2015, killing of 23-year-old DePrecia Neelon. Short faces life in prison when he’s sentenced at a later date.

Short’s first trial in May ended in a mistrial amid accusations of jury tampering.

Police say Neelon was fatally shot after a fire was started at the back door of her home. When Neelon went out to pull her 4-year-old daughter away from the flames and douse the fire, she was shot seven times.

Johnson was killed two days later outside his girlfriend’s house.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The driver of a pickup truck from which a woman fell or jumped to her death in Lincoln has been sentenced for drunken driving.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports that 32-year-old Seth Noble on Thursday was given seven days of house arrest in lieu of jail time, was fined $500 and lost his license for six months. He’d pleaded no contest.

A police report says the pickup Noble was driving ran over 25-year-old Amanda Terrell on Sept. 5 after she jumped off or fell north of the Nebraska Innovation Campus in north Lincoln. She died later at a hospital.

Prosecutor Ashley Bohnet says Noble was intoxicated at the time he was driving, but investigators couldn’t find any evidence that his being under the influence was what led to Terrell’s death.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska lawmaker is looking to help a southeastern county pay a $28 million federal judgment owed to six people wrongfully convicted for a 1985 slaying.

Sen. Myron Dorn of Adams is a former chairman of the Gage County Board. The county has had to raise its property tax by more than 30 percent to pay for the judgment.

Dorn asked the Legislature’s Judiciary Committee on Thursday to consider a bill that would allow a political subdivision facing a federal judgment for wrongful conviction or imprisonment to file a claim with the state.

Dorn is also pursuing options that would allow counties facing a federal judgment to impose a sales tax or receive a state loan.

The six people were wrongfully convicted for the rape and murder of 68-year-old Helen Wilson. DNA evidence cleared them in 2008.
